dc.descriptionA detailed paleoflood investigation was performed in five canyons supplying flood flows to the piedmont of the Tortolita Mountains. The results of the study reveal large discrepancies between theoretical estimates of 100-year peak discharges and maximum apparent paleoflood discharge estimates derived from the analysis of geologic effects of flooding preserved in each canyon.
