The typical intensity-duration frequency curves are given in Fig. The results of frequency analysis are plotted on the log-log paper.
The rainfall records of deficient length have to be extended by station year method. Rainfall intensity changes continuously throughout a storm, but it may be averaged over short time intervals or over the entire storm duration. Now the frequency analysis concept is applied on a seasonal basis and for areal frequency. Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) Curves Intensity Depth of rainfall per unit time (usually in/hr or cm/hr).
PCSWMM DEPTH DURATION FREQUENCY SERIES
With the advancement of science of hydrology rainfall frequency analysis is done using Gumble’s extreme-value distribution and annual series data. Hurricane rains and floods of August 1955, Carolinas to New England. For selected stations in the United States, Alaska, Hawaiian Islands, and Puerto Rico. In hydrology, frequency analysis of station rainfall data is done for use in design of bridges and culverts on highways, design of storm drains etc. Rainfall intensity-duration-frequency curves. These give the rainfall depths when the storms are centered over the catchment. So from DAD curves 1 day, 2 day, 3 day rainfall depths for the catchment area of the proposed project are read. 2.12 are called Depth-Area-Duration curves:Īlthough most severe storm in the listed storms may not have occurred right over the catchment under consideration there is possibility of such occurrence. Draw on a graph curves connecting area and rainfall values for different durations say 1 day rainfall, 2 day rainfall, 3 days rainfall (Refer Fig. For the listed severe storms prepare iso-hyetal maps and determine the rainfall values over the area of each isohyet (rainfall contour).ģ.
From it prepare a list of most severe storms with their dates of occurrence and duration.Ģ. Also consider records of meteorologically similar regions. Examine the rainfall records of the region in which catchment area under consideration is located.
