The purpose of this study was to analyze flood-related problems and provide information that will enable local governments to make decisions that will minimize or reduce flood hazards in the future. The Cache la Poudre River basin in Colorado is in a rapidly growing area. The population of Larimer and Weld Countries increased by about 60 percent between 1970 and 1980. The basin contains a number of flood hazard areas, from narrow canyon flood plains in the mountainous west to wide valley flood plains in the east. Local interests are concerned about the changing nature of the flood hazards in the basin as a consequence of urban growth, particularly since catrastrophis Big Thompson River flood in the summer of 1976. Originator supplied keywords include: Floods, Floodplains, Colorado, Flood damage prevention, Tables(Data), Maps.

The Cache la Poudre River drains 1,890 square miles of land in the Mummy and Never Summer ranges in Colorado and Wyoming. It begins on the Continental Divide, flows through mountain canyons on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and onto the plains, before joining the South Platte River. American settlers first diverted the Poudres water into ditches and canals to facilitate irrigation on the plains in the early 1860s. This examination of the water delivery system of the Cache la Poudre which includes small ditches, large canals, and reservoirs documents the use of the water for agriculture, municipal, industrial and recreational use. A synthesis of information from public sources such as university libraries, local history archives, the Colorado State Archives, the Colorado State University Water Resources Archive, and the Denver Public Library's Western History Department, this environmental history addresses the development of the water delivery system; the impact of the delivery system on society, economy, laws, technology, hydrology, and the environment; and some attention to Colorado water law.

One purpose of the Cache la Poudre River basin Special Study is to present data on existing and future flood potential for streams subject to the effects of increasing urbanization. Two streams in the Cache la Poudre River basin which meet this criteria are Fossil Creek near Fort Collins and Sheep Draw near Greeley. Local interests also assigned these streams priority for study. Volume III of the Special Study covers Sheep Draw and Volume IV covers Fossil Creek. Hydrologic modeling studies were conducted to determine the peak discharges for floods of various probabilities of occurrence. This information was developed first for existing watershed land use. To determine the effect of increasing urbanization on flood runoff, possible future urban land use was superimposed on the Sheep Draw basin. Volume II of this study presents details of the hydrologic studies. Hydraulic modeling studies were conducted to develop the flood water surface profiles and flood plain boundaries. Flood profiles are shown for existing and future conditions. Flooded area maps are shown for existing conditions. Originator-supplied keywords include: Floods, Floodplains - Colorado, Flood damage prevention.
