Characteristics of Intense Storms in Kansas

by Bruce M. McEnroe, (A.M.ASCE), Kansas State Univ, Manhattan, KS, USA,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Water Forum '86: World Water Issues in Evolution

Abstract:

This paper examines point-rainfall characteristics of intense storms in Kansas. Hourly rainfall records were analyzed for 1006 intense storms selected from some 1800 station-years of data. Distributions were developed for seven parameters characterizing the hyetographs and antecedent conditions for these storms. Representative results are presented and design implications are discussed.
