LWI Region 5 Mermentau Headwaters - Mermentau River at Mermentau HEC-HMS Model: Historic Event scaled to 50-Year Design Storm

This watershed simulation models a 50-year design storm for the KCDA Mermentau River at Mermentau (MH_MerR_00_G). The August 2016 historical tropical storm scaled by a factor of 1.20 to represent the 50-year 48-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 50-year design storm simulation over MH_MerR_00_G. Basin: B_CalibratedBase - Tc, None. Meteorology: MR00G_50YR_AUG2016_SF1.2V2, None. None. HMS 4.12
