Omang RJ, Parrett C, Hull JA. 1983. Flood estimates for ungaged streams in Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks, Montana. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water Resources Investigations Report. 83-4147. USGS. Helena, MT
Estimates of 100-year flood discharge were made at 59 sites in Glacier National Park and 21 sites in Yellowstone National Park to assist the National Park Service in quantifying stream inflow and outflow in the Parks. The estimates were made using regression equations previously developed for Montana. The resulting 100-year discharges are listed in tables; the discharges ranged from 260 to 62,700 cubic feet per second in Glacier National Park and from 110 to 27,900 cubic feet per second in Yellowstone National Park.
