Michigan Flood Discharge and Low Flow Databases

• Flood Discharge Database
  This database contains flood discharge estimates for various locations in Michigan. These estimates are used to design structures such as dams, bridges, and culverts. These estimates are also used to determine the extent of floodplain boundaries.
   

• Low Flow Database
  Low flows are estimated for various points around the State and recorded here.  These values represent drought type conditions and are used in calculating worst case scenarios for the mixing of discharge waters into natural streams or rivers.
