From purpose and scope: This report describes methods for evaluating the magnitude and frequency of floods at gaged and (or) ungaged sites in California. The purpose is to provide a base for the study of floods and the review and extension of flood magnitude-frequency relations by agencies and individuals who are concerned with the management and control of floods, highway construction, and other related work.

Purpose and Scope: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the geohydrologic characteristics that influence sustained artificial recharge and to determine long-term infiltration rates in the northern part of Chino ground-water basin. Results of this study will help management to design and implement a recharge-recapture system in Chino Basin. Nine test holes were drilled, long-term infiltration tests were made, and drillers' logs and water-level data were evaluated to determine the probable effects of recharging the ground-water basin. The study was concentrated in the northern part of Chino Basin, where recharge is proposed.
