IDF Curves

IDF Curves

(OP)
Does anybody know of a source for IDF curves.  In particular, Albany, New York area?  
With all the rain guages out there I would think data is availible to produce the IDF curves/tables to be used with the programs availible.
I have tried "surfing" the web but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: IDF Curves

Try contacting your local city or county engineering departments.  They may have actual IDF curves for your area.  Or you can pull up NOAA maps showing rainfall for 2,5,10 etc year storm, which are available off the web, and construct your own IDF curve for your specific site.
