EXERCISE NO. 6
FREQUENCY OF POINT RAINFALL
Problem:
The record of annual rainfall at a place is given for 25 years. Estimate the recurrence
interval for various magnitudes. By suitable extrapolation, determine the magnitude of annual
rainfall at the station corresponding to a recurrence interval of (a) 50 years (b) 100 years.
Tabulate the rainfall in descending order.
Answer:
m Annual Rainfall P = m/(N+1) T = 1/P
