A hydraulic analysis of the unnamed wash in Moab Canyon at Arches National Park, Utah, was made using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' HEC-2 (Water Surface Profiles) computer program to calculate peak water-surface elevations for the 100-year, a 3,920-foot reach in the vicinity of the park's main entrance. Of the nine major buildings in this area, six were found to be subject to flooding. Alternatives for managing described flood hazards are presented.
