Development of Regional Design Storms that are Representative of the Historical Climate and Projected Climate Change
Abstract
Design storms that are representative of the local climate are needed for hydraulic modeling of sanitary sewers to meet a minimum level of service. Storm characteristics specific to modeling sanitary sewers such as trends in the number of storms, depth and intensity, or other statistical characteristics may be non-stationary. Design storms can be based on locally measured rainfall accounting for spatial and temporal rainfall distributions. Hyetographs are the temporal distribution of rainfall intensity or depth. Spatial distribution of rainfall storm totals can be accounted for by depth area reduction factors or through dynamic representation of storm movement. Local rain gauge and radar measurements for a particular locale can result in more efficient planning and design of sanitary sewers.
