Regional floods are many times associated with slow-moving, low-pressure or frontal storm systems including decaying hurricanes or tropical storms. Persistent wet meteorological patterns are usually responsible for very large regional floods such as the Mississippi River Basin flood of 1993 wherein damages were $20 billion.

The objective of this exercise to model the 1993 Mississippi River flood at St. Louis, Missouri. You will use a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) produced by the U.S. Geological Survey to approximate the flood during late July and early August, 1993. You will create a shaded hillslope model to show the extent of the flood.

Flood inundation limits were created for the Mississippi coastal counties by mapping the coastal HWM elevations onto digital, pre-storm, topographic contour data developed from recent Light Detecting and Ranging (LIDAR) surveys.
