    Rainfall intensity refers to the rate of rainfall over time and can be calculated by dividing the change in rainfall depth by the change in time. The average rainfall intensity is calculated by dividing the total rainfall depth by the total storm duration. A rainfall hyetograph plots rainfall intensity over time, while a cumulative rainfall hyetograph plots the accumulating rainfall total over time.

    • Rainfall Intensity (I) refers to the time rate of

    rainfall.

    ∆𝑷
    I (mm/hr)=
    ∆𝑻
    𝑷𝑻
    • Average Rainfall Intensity (I) =
    𝑻

    𝑷𝑻 is the total depth of rainfall


    𝑻 is the total storm duration
    Rainfall Hyetograph
    • Rainfall Hyetograph is the plot of rainfall intensity as a function of
    time.
    Rainfall Hyetograph
    • Cumulative Rainfall Hyetograph or Rainfall Mass Curve is the plot
    of summation of rainfall increments as a function of time
    Example
    • Consider the rainfall hyetograph given in the figure below. Determine
    the total depth and average rainfall intensity. Also, plot the
    Cumulative Rainfall versus time.
