 3. Computation of maximum depth or intensity of rainfall for a chosen duration

Rainfall data shown in table below are for station Y for a particular storm. Calculate the maximum
rainfall intensity in 10 and 20minutes time interval in mm/hr

Time (min) 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40

Rainfall (mm) - 3.6 10 12.4 11 10.6 8 6 1.6

SOLUTION

Running totals

Time Rainfall Cum (0 min) 10 min 20 min

0 - 0

5 3.6 3.6

10 10 13.6 13.6

15 12.4 26 22.4

20 11 37 23.4 37

25 10.6 47.6 21.6 44

30 8 55.6 18.6 42

35 6 61.6 14 35.6

40 1.6 63.2 7 2.2

In 10 minutes column, the maximum is 23.4mm divide by 10/60hr become 140.4mm/hr

In 20minutes column, the maximum is 44mm divide by 20/60hr become 132mm/hr
