Floodplain boundaries for the Cuyahoga River at Jaite, Ohio
Description
This data release is comprised of digital floodplain boundaries for a 6-mile reach of the Cuyahoga River near Jaite, Ohio. Digital flood-inundation maps for a nearly 6-mile reach of the Cuyahoga River at Jaite, Ohio, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Board of Trustees. Flood profiles were computed for the stream reach by means of a one-dimensional step-backwater model. The model was calibrated to the current stage-discharge relation at the U.S. Geological Survey streamgage Cuyahoga River at Jaite, Ohio (station number 04206425). The hydraulic model was then used to compute total water-surface profiles for flood stages ranging from 6 to 20 ft. The simulated water-surface profiles were then used in combination with a geographic information system digital elevation model derived from light detection and ranging data to delineate the areas flooded at each water level.
