Flood Level Calculation Program

Changes Rev. date 11-29-2011

  1. The Westham Gage readings to be used in calculating flood levels have been limited. The lower level has been set to 5 ft and the upper level to 28.46 ft.
  2. Rather than calculating the drop in water level along Cherokee Road the table now shows the calculated water level at the Cherokee river properties including a + tolerance.
  3. Between a Westham gage reading of 8 ft and 15 ft the calculated water levels are based on actual observations. Accuracy is estimated at + 0.1 ft at  5 ft. The accuracy  decreases as the gage readings increase to the max. value of 28.46 ft. At the max. gage reading the accuracy is estimated at + 1 ft.
  4. The river flow as a function of Westham gage reading has been corrected. Even though not important for water level calculations it is a a piece of trivia.
  5. An expanded flood map covering all of Cherokee Road within the HH community (from the city line to Old Gun Road East).
