The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced the release of a new precipitation-frequency atlas for the state on Monday.
The data is used by hydrologists, engineers and others when designing infrastructure, such as storm drainage systems, flood control structures, and water quality devices. The estimates are also needed for managing flood plains and flood-prone areas, fish habitat, stream erosion control and soil conservation and pollution control systems.
