The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation, estimated flood magnitudes for the 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probabilities (AEP) for unregulated streamgages in Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Maui, and Hawaiʻi, State of Hawaiʻi, using data through water year 2020. Regression equations which can be used to estimate flood magnitude and associated frequency at ungaged streams were developed. The methods and results of the study are published in a separate report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20235014). This data release contains data supporting the larger work: (1) PeakFQ inputs and selected outputs for 238 selected streamgages in Hawaiʻi; (2) inputs and outputs for the USGS weighted-multiple-linear regression (WREG) program used to develop the regional regression equations; (3) geospatial data supporting the report, including basin delineations, basin characteristics, and regional regression boundaries; and (4) selected appendices from the larger work. These data can be used to reproduce the results in the larger work: Magnitude and Frequency of Floods on Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Maui, and Hawaiʻi, State of Hawaiʻi, Based on Data through Water Year 2020.

This data release includes two geographic information system (GIS) shapefiles, one of polygons representing the extents of the drainage basins of 238 selected streamgages operated by the USGS in the State of Hawaiʻi, and the other of polygons representing the extents of flood-regression regions in the State of Hawaiʻi. The 238 selected streamgages were used to develop a regional flood skew with Bayesian weighted least squares/Bayesian generalized least squares (B-WLS/B-GLS) regression and were used in generalized least-squares (GLS) regression to generate equations that predict stream discharges corresponding to selected AEPs at ungaged locations on streams in the State of Hawaiʻi (Mitchell and others, 2023). Also included is a comma-separated values (.csv) text file containing the physical, land-cover, and climatic characteristics of the basin polygons corresponding to each of the 238 selected streamgages. The data supporting the basin delineations and basin characteristics were previously published as separate data releases: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9N61WJ7, and https://doi.org/10.5066/P9TOQANM.

Stream Flooding Hazard Intensity Level in the coastal zone of Maui, Hawaii

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation, estimated flood magnitudes for the 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probabilities (AEP) for unregulated streamgages in Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Maui, and Hawaiʻi, State of Hawaiʻi, using data through water year 2020. Regression equations which can be used to estimate flood magnitude and associated frequency at ungaged streams were developed. The methods and results of the study are published in a separate report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20235014). This data release includes peak-flow, specification, output, and export files from version 7.3 of USGS PeakFQ software (Veilleux and others, 2014; Flynn and others, 2006) for 238 streamgages operated by the USGS in the State of Hawaiʻi and a summary of data from the output and export files. Within PeakFQ software, the Expected Moments Algorithm (EMA) was used to conduct frequency analysis to estimate stream discharges corresponding to the 0.5, 0.2, 0.1, 0.04, 0.02, 0.01, 0.005, and 0.002 AEPs (otherwise known as the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 200-, and 500-year floods, respectively). Results of the frequency analysis were used to develop a regional flood skew with Bayesian weighted least squares/Bayesian generalized least squares (B-WLS/B-GLS) regression and were used in generalized least-squares (GLS) regression to generate equations that predict stream discharges corresponding to selected AEPs at ungaged locations on streams in the State of Hawaiʻi (Mitchell and others, 2023).
