american_river_floodplain

Format

dataframe with 35 rows and 5 variables:

flow_cfs

integer flow value in cubic feet per second

FR_floodplain_acres

fall run floodplain acreage

ST_floodplain_acres

steelhead floodplain acreage

watershed

name of watershed

Source

Central Valley Floodplain Evaluation and Delineation (CVFED) HEC-RAS hydraulic model

Fall Run and Steelhead Modeling

The entire mapped rearing extent of 22.81 miles was modeled using Central Valley Floodplain Evaluation and Delineation (CVFED) HEC-RAS hydraulic model. Active channel area of 670.20 acres estimated through remote sensing analysis was subtracted from total inundated area to get inundated floodplain area.
