LWI Region 5 Mermentau Headwaters - Bayou Nezpique at Basile HEC-RAS Model: Historic Event scaled to 50-Year Design Storm
This simulation represents the 50-year design storm event for the KCDA Bayou Nezpique at Basile (MH_BNz2_32_G). The event is based on the August 2016 historical tropical storm scaled to the 50-year 12-hour design storm precipitation volume. The storm critical duration was determined by modeling the gridded precipitation over the KCDA area and identifying the peak flow leaving the KCDA area for a variety of storm lengths. To match the design storm volume, the August 2016 historical storm was configured with a 3.05 scale factor for KCDA MH_BNz2_32_G.
