Flood
Recurrence Interval: |

|
Scientists map the areal extents of
floods and assign recurrence intervals using streamflow data
collected by the USGS and the Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality since the late 1800s. Recurrence intervals express
the likelihood that an event, such as a flood, will occur in any
given year. For example, a 100-year-flood has a 1% chance of
occurring in any year, and a 25-year flood has a 4% chance of
occurring in any year. |
