Rainfall Intensity Curves
Rainfall Intensity Curves
(OP)
Is there a specific or general equation for determining the intensity vs. Time of Concentration graphs local to Southern New Jersey? If so, where could they be found?

2 = 3.5
5 = 4.5
10 = 5.5
25 = 6.2
50 = 6.8
100 = 7.6
I couldn't find the 6 hour storm and we rarely use that, we use Type III, 24 hour storm events. Hopefully this can work.
Thanks

Be sure to check the results across a wide range of the mapped values. I'm accustomed to working in areas where the type 2 distribution is preferable, but my limited experience is that the results are also good for type 3 areas. (In fact, I've only had real problems coming up with a good set of coefficients for areas of the West Coast.)
