LWI Region 5 Mermentau Headwaters - Bayou Plaquemine Brule near Crowley HEC-RAS Model: Historic Event scaled to 5-Year Design Storm

This simulation represents the 5-year design storm event for the KCDA Bayou Plaquemine Brule near Crowley (MH_BPqB_15_UG). The event is based on the August 2016 historical tropical storm scaled to the 5-year 24-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 0.50 scale factor for KCDA MH_BPqB_15_UG.
