Distribuição temporal de chuvas intensas em Cascavel, PR.

Abstract

For small watersheds, where series of measured discharges usually do not exist, the estimate of the design flood flow can be made by using the results of the intense rainfalls analysis for the region. One of the important elements of this analysis is the definition of the intense rainfalls temporal distributions patterns that can be used as references to the development of the storm design hyetograph. Considering that such patterns are not available for Cascavel, PR, the objective of this study was to determine the intense rainfalls time distribution patterns, following the Chicago method.
