Estimativa das intensidades máximas de chuva para a bacia do Rio Paracatu.

Abstract

Space and temporal distribution of rainfalls are very important parameters for designing hydraulic structures, such as water drain systems, water reservoir, flood control dikes, etc. However, a rational design requires reliable short term rainfall data which, are normally not available. To overcome this problem one can estimate the short term rainfall data by means of daily precipitation values. This papers deals with estimation of maximum precipitation intensity for “Rio Paracatu” basin, from daily rainfall data.
