The objective of this Technical Data Notebook is to provide 100-yr peak discharges at a Concentration Point for the Unnamed 02 and 03 Washes, 100-yr floodplain boundary and erosion hazard information, using the most up-to-date topographic, hydrologic, and hydraulic data. This is a local study and has not been submitted to FEMA.
Arizona is one of the nation’s most urban states, and now it includes one of 20 “megapolitan” areas in the U.S. People have predicted for 50 years that Phoenix and Tucson would grow together into a giant desert conglomerate. That possibility has been seen as exciting, intriguing, and distressing. While a solid city along Interstate 10 is unlikely given the diverse land ownership in central and southern Arizona, the two metro economies are already merging.
Megapolitan: Arizona’s Sun Corridor, one of the first reports on a single megapolitan area, recognizes a more sophisticated technique for analyzing urban growth—that shared economic and quality of life interests are more important than physically growing together.
Scholars at Virginia Tech defined the megapolitans based on economic and growth patterns.
The Sun Corridor, which cuts across six counties from the border with Mexico to the center of Yavapai County, is the home of eight out of 10 Arizonans. In the next several decades, two out of three Americans will live in a megapolitan accounting for 60% of the population on only 10% of U.S. land.
Megapolitan offers a bold new picture of Arizona’s geography and its future opportunities and “megaton” challenges. This report presents a scenario for 2035 based on current trends. It analyzes the Sun Corridor and provides insights into the region’s global potential, water, governance, sustainability, and “trillion dollar questions.” It discusses the “tragedy of the sunshine” and asks the indispensable question: In 2035, do you want to live in the Sun Corridor?
Fast Growth in Metropolitan Phoenix is the first product of a comprehensive effort to describe and analyze the region’s growth. The Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy in Washington, D.C. presented the opportunity for this project to Morrison Institute for Public Policy. The story of growth in metropolitan Phoenix is a complicated, often surprising, tale. There is much to be proud of in the region. Yet there is also much to worry about, and much that needs to be done. Hits and Misses will have been successful if it becomes a catalyst for getting started.
The purpose of this study is to provide flood and erosion hazard information for the Geronimo Wash for use in floodplain use permitting and floodplain management.
The objective of the TDN and LOMR submission is provide regulatory discharge rates and floodplain limits along the Flecha Caida Wash using better topographic, hydrologic, and hydraulic data.
The purpose of this study is to provide flood and erosion hazard information for the Craycroft Wash for use in floodplain use permitting and floodplain management.
The purpose of this study is to provide flood and erosion hazard information for the Old Grandad Tank Wash for use in floodplain use permitting and floodplain management.
The purpose of this study is to provide flood and erosion hazard information for the Wentworth Wash for use in floodplain use permitting and floodplain management.
The purpose of this study is to provide flood and erosion hazard information for Castle Wash for use in floodplain use permitting and floodplain management.
This Technical Data notebook has been prepared for a Letter of Map Revision application for a portion of the Roger Wash located in Pima County, Arizona. The objective of the TDN and LOMR submission is to provide regulatory discharge rates and floodplain limits along the Roger Wash using better topographic, hydrologic, and hydraulic data.
