Abstract/Additional Information
A unique opportunity arose on September 11-13, 2013 for Reclamation scientists and engineers when the Northern Front Range of Colorado was impacted by one of the largest rainstorms in recorded history. Initial estimates of the total rainfall far exceed previous recorded values and the widespread flooding that resulted from the rainfall affected most of the major drainages heading in the foothills east of the continental divide and west of the major population centers in the Denver-Boulder-Fort Collins corridor.
