Summary

As much as 22 inches of rain fell in Oklahoma in May 2019, resulting in historic flooding along the Arkansas River and its tributaries in eastern and northeastern Oklahoma. The flooding along the Arkansas River and its tributaries began in May continued into June 2019. Peaks of record were measured at nine U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) streamgages on various streams in eastern and northeastern Oklahoma. This data release documents the model output files for the Riverware model used to simulate regulated and unregulated conditions and the physical and operational input data, including spillway and outlet works, rating curves, established pool limits, and regulation criteria for modeling system [...]

Purpose

The historic flooding during May–June 2019 in eastern and northeastern Oklahoma caused homes to fall into the Arkansas River as a result of bank erosion, forced some towns to be evacuated, and resulted in the highest flood depths in Tulsa, Oklahoma, since 1986. Several USGS and USACE streamgages along the Arkansas River and its tributaries recorded new peaks of record. This data release includes data from streamgages on tributaries to the Arkansas River and uses modeling methods to extend the period of record for Arkansas River streamgages. This data release documents streamflow resulting from this historic flood in the Arkansas River downstream from selected dams and for tributaries to the Arkansas River.
