LWI Region 5 Mermentau Headwaters - Bayou Blue near Elton HEC-HMS Model: Historic Event scaled to 5-Year Design Storm

This watershed simulation models a 5-year design storm for the KCDA Bayou Blue near Elton (MH_BBT9_00_UG). The August 2016 historical tropical storm scaled by a factor of 1.15 to represent the 5-year 12-hour design storm precipitation volume was used as the meteorological input to the HMS model. Results of this simulation are applied as inputs to the LWI Region 5 Mermentau Headwaters HEC-RAS Model 5-year design storm simulation over MH_BBT9_00_UG. Basin: B_CalibratedBase - Tc, None. Meteorology: BT00UG_5YR_AUG2016_SF1.15V2, None. None. None. HMS 4.12.
