    The document describes analyzing rainfall intensity-duration data from a station over 31 years to develop intensity-duration-frequency curves. It provides a table of the 11 worst storms by duration (5 min to 120 min) and calculates their return periods from 1 to 11 years by ranking them. Finally, it plots intensity-duration curves for return periods of 11, 1.4, and 1 year based on the data to understand how intensity varies by duration and return period.

    Intensity Duration Curve (IDF)

    Example
    The various data were obtained for rains of various durations at a station X for 31 years. The records were analyze
    and 11 worst storms of various durations have been stipulated in their decreasing order as shown in the table
    below. Plot the inyensity duration curves of return period of 11, 1.4 and 1.0 year

    Solution

    We first calculate the frequencies (return period) of the various storms by using the equation T = N/m. Where N
    the number of storms shown in Table 1 which is 11.
