Rainfall variability and design storms prediction using block peak method

Design storm is essential for the water resources planning and management. It is derived using rainfall data that has great variability in nature. The structure of design storm basically shall contemplate the intensity-duration frequency (IDF) relation and the structure of temporal storm pattern. Th...

description Design storm is essential for the water resources planning and management. It is derived using rainfall data that has great variability in nature. The structure of design storm basically shall contemplate the intensity-duration frequency (IDF) relation and the structure of temporal storm pattern.
