HEC-HMS model calibration and validation.

Question

I'm using HEC-HMS to estimate flood flow in ungauged basins associated with highway projects that intersects many watercourses, where stream discharge data were not available for calibration and validation. However, historical precipitation data are available only for some locations. Is there any method to verify the HEC-HMS peak flow results?
