SUMMARY:Flood Prediction using Distributed Hydrologic Modeling in the 
	Dominican Republic
DESCRIPTION: The Yuna River watershed experiences long-duration floods
	 near its mouth\, and deadly flash floods in its mountainous upper rea
	ches. To better understand this watershed\, a distributed hydrologic m
	odel is created that describes flood behavior and acts as a resource f
	or flood control decisions. Since gage and hydrologic data in the wate
	rshed is sparse\, the model requires customized calibration to histori
	c storms. Additionally\, a flood alert tool is proposed that catalogue
	s expected peak flows\, times to peak\, and time delays around the cit
	y of Bonao. Potential structural controls are tested for effective flo
	w attenuation\, including reservoirs and diversions.\n
