dc.description.abstractThe National Park Service (NPS) is required to assess risks of flooding to existing and proposed structures within the boundaries of the NPS system. Within Denali National Park and Preserve (DNP & P), there are several large, braided rivers that require floodplain management. The objective of this investigation is to provide DNP & P with guidelines and methods that apply fluvial geomorphic, hydrologic, and hydraulic analysis in order to delineate flood hazard zones on this type of stream. Data collected from Teklanika and Toklat Rivers were used to develop a return period versus flood depth/bankfull depth curve and assess potential streambank erosion. Site specific data combined with this curve will enable NPS personnel to easily approximate flood hazard zones for the project reaches. The method can be applied to assess other flood hazard zones associated with other braided rivers with similar characteristics.en_US
