Description

In the evening of July 27, 1988, an extreme flood inundated the channels and floodplains of a relatively pristine, undeveloped alluvial fan associated with Wild Burro Wash, located on a desert piedmont near Tucson, Arizona. Subsequently, we spent about 200 person-days in the field mapping in detail the distribution of flooding on the fan, differentiate flow into several depth classes over an area of 4.4 KM and collecting data to reconstruct the peak-flow hydraulics in select narrow reaches. The results of that effort are described herein. 51 p., 2 sheets (on CD-ROM), scale 1:6,000 and 1:15,000
