Abstract
The object of this paper is to collect rainfall data, arrange them in order of intensities, and then derive formulas and graphs which may be used for purposes of sewer design and investigations. Statistics of the heavier rainfalls have been culled from the records of the Central Park gauge in New York, N. Y., covering the period from 1869 to 1930, inclusive. The intensities for various ·durations are then listed in order of their magnitudes and several types of precipitation formulas are investigated. By comparison of the results the modified exponential type proves most nearly to accord with the observed data. With suggested constants this is recommended for use in New; York City and, when properly adjusted as to values of coefficients, to other localities as well.
