Process-Based Debris-Flow Prediction Method

by Scott R. Williams, Davis County Public Works, Farmington, United States,
Mike Lowe, Davis County Public Works, Farmington, United States,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Hydraulics/Hydrology of Arid Lands (H?AL)

Abstract:

This paper briefly identifies problems with traditional approaches to debris-flow prediction and presents a simplified process-based model (Williams and others, 1988) to accomplish the task. It also explains the basis and necessity for the model's creation, and shares insights gained through its use in Wasatch Front canyons in Davis County, Utah.
