Abstract
This paper undertakes to report on certain progressive developments in applied hydrology, now a recognized field of engineering, and the science of meteorology, heretofore primarily associated with the prediction of weather and with the generalized influences of weather on the climatic regimes of a region. Inadequacy in the quality, extent, and length of precipitation records has given incentive and justification to the development of more rational design techniques so that the flood to be accommodated by a structure may bear a direct relation to type and magnitude of the storm that will ultimately produce it.
