DESIG N RAINFALL CHART FOR MALACCA

All equations are based on the URBAN STORMWATER MANAG EMENT MANUAL FOR MALAYSIA
Vol 4 - Design Fundamentals
Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) Curves

Average rainfall intensity (mm/hr) for ARI and duration t (minutes) for an average return interval R (years)
is given by:
R

ln( I t ) =a + b ln(t) + c (ln(t))

+ d (ln(t))

( I t ) = exp(a + b ln(t) + c (ln(t))

+ d (ln(t)) )

where a, b, c & d are constants

For t < 30 min, the following equation is used to find the rainfall intensity
P d = P 30 - F D (P 60 -P 30 )
where P 30 and P 60 are the 30-minute and 60-minute duration depths;
F D is the adjustment factor for storm duration
