Rainfall precipitation depth database for US?

Rainfall precipitation depth database for US?

Rainfall precipitation depth database for US?

(OP)
I am looking for some websites to obtain design storm information such as IDF curves and precipitation depths for designing stormwater facilities. I found the website but was wondering if there are more websites like this. I do work mostly in California but also do work elsewhere in the country.

The maps for western California is very blurry. I can't really make out some of the numbers. I was wondering if there is a better source for this.

Thanks!

RE: Rainfall precipitation depth database for US?

Unless you work in Southern CA you're probably stuck with using the maps.  I've found it best to download the maps and then print them out to a larger scale to make them more readable. Someday, this won't be necessary and the entire US will be available in tabular form.

good luck
