E✓ERETT DESIGN STORMS <br />Intensity -- Frequency - Duration curves are available for the City of <br />Fvarett. <br />�- It <br />it is desirable to consider the effects of two storms - one of high intensity ..l' <br />short duration and one of low intensity long duration. A storm of 20 minute <br />duration for the former and of 6 hours duration for the latter would be <br />suitable. <br />The following tabulation gives the necessary information: <br />r- <br />". <br />:form Rainfall' Total <br />Storm Frequency Duration intensity Precipitation <br />10 year 20 min 1.3 ins/hr 0.43 <br />10 year 6 hr 0.2 ins/hr 1.2 ins <br />25 year 20 min 1.6 ins/hr 0.53 in, <br />25 year 6 hr 0.25 ins/hr 1.5 ins <br />100 year 20 min 2.0 ins/hr <br />100 year 6 1.8 <br />63 ins <br />hr 0.3 ins/hr 0.ins <br />RUNOFF COEFFICIENTS ' <br />A full range of values of runoff coefficients is givan in the procedures ' <br />tcanual.
