Abstract/Description or Keywords This memorandum presents estimates of the 200 year daily peak flows for Kelowna and Scotty Creeks through unit hydrograph and frequency analysis. Flood control suggestions within the Kelowna Creek watershed are also outlined, through reservoir draw down and snowpack monitoring.
Information Type report
Regional Watershed Okanagan
Sub-watershed if known Kelowna (Mill) Creek

Comments 200 year daily peak flows from Kelowna and Scotty Creeks should be used with caution due to the period of investigation (1971-1982), but the overall theory is relevant to a water supply study, as runoff estimates take reservoir storage within the watershed into consideration.
