{"product_id":"2940149010981","title":"Analysis and Inundation Mapping of the April\u0026#x2013;May 2011 Flood at Selected Locations in Northern and Eastern Arkansas and Southern Missouri","description":"Precipitation that fell from April 19 through May 3, \u003cbr\u003e2011, resulted in widespread flooding across northern and \u003cbr\u003eeastern Arkansas and southern Missouri. The first storm \u003cbr\u003eproduced a total of approximately 16 inches of precipitation \u003cbr\u003eover an 8-day period, and the following storms produced \u003cbr\u003eas much as 12 inches of precipitation over a 2-day period. \u003cbr\u003eModerate to major flooding occurred quickly along many \u003cbr\u003estreams within Arkansas and Missouri (including the Black, \u003cbr\u003eCache, Illinois, St. Francis, and White Rivers) at levels that \u003cbr\u003ehad not been seen since the historic 1927 floods. The 2011 \u003cbr\u003eflood claimed an estimated 21 lives in Arkansas and Missouri, \u003cbr\u003eand damage caused by the flooding resulted in a Federal \u003cbr\u003eDisaster Declaration for 59 Arkansas counties that received \u003cbr\u003eFederal or State assistance. To further the goal of documenting \u003cbr\u003eand understanding floods, the U.S. Geological Survey, in \u003cbr\u003ecooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, \u003cbr\u003ethe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers–Little Rock and Memphis \u003cbr\u003eDistricts, and Arkansas Natural Resources Commission, \u003cbr\u003econducted a study to summarize meteorological and \u003cbr\u003ehydrological conditions before the flood; computed flood-peak \u003cbr\u003emagnitudes for 39 streamgages; estimated annual exceedance \u003cbr\u003eprobabilities for 37 of those streamgages; determined the joint \u003cbr\u003eprobabilities for 11 streamgages paired to the Mississippi \u003cbr\u003eRiver at Helena, Arkansas, which refers to the probability that \u003cbr\u003elocations on two paired streams simultaneously experience \u003cbr\u003efloods of a magnitude greater than or equal to a given \u003cbr\u003eannual exceedance probability; collected high-water marks; \u003cbr\u003econstructed flood-peak inundation maps showing maximum \u003cbr\u003eflood extent and water depths; and summarized flood damages \u003cbr\u003eand effects.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084502974704,"sku":"2940149010981","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149010981_p0.jpg?v=1763717811","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149010981","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
