Summary

Abstract: This case covers the Fort Collins, CO flash flood event which occurred
28-29 July 1997. Backbuilding echoes increased the duration of
rainfall. This, in addition to very intense rainfall, combined with
urban runoff complexities and resulted in an extreme hydrologic
response.

Quality The population per grid cell (item Pop) is based upon the population data of Gridded Population of the World, Version 3 (GPWv3). The area per grid cell (Areakm) is calculated by subtracting from the area of the grid cell those areas that are permanently inundated as identified using VMAP (0)/Digital Chart of the World. Building upon a methodology developed by Sachs et al. (2003), a Gross Domestic ...
