Recently developed improved methods for highway stllrlD. water drainage
require information on the temporal distribution of rainfall (i.e., hyetogr:lph)
in addition to the average rain intensity. The triangular decign hyetograpil
method is developed as a practical method to provide the local storm hyetograph
for design of small highway drainage facilities. The method is based on the
methods cf .noments~ using and preserving the statistical mean of the firse eime
moment of rainstorms. The method is proposed as a trade-off between theoretical
sophistication and practical simplicity. A total of 293,946 rainstol~S from
the hourly precipitation data of 222 National Weather Service stations and 5 to
60 minute data of 13 raingage stations of USDA Agricultural Research Service were
analyzed to provide the statistical values of the hyetograph parameters for the
United States. In Volume II existina methods to describe the temporal distribution
of the rainfall of a design storm eTe first briefly reviewed., Ne7.:t, different defini-
tions of rainstorms are discussed. The theory of the first-ma.ent triangular desisn
hyetograph method is pTesented. Details of the rainstorm data utilized are des-
cribed. The results of the statistical analysis of the data are summarized and
discussed. From these results a national ..p of the value of the nondimensional
peak rain time of the triangular hyetosraph is developed for use in highway storm
drainage de.igna; The other volumes of this report set are:

cOliponeots contributing to successful performance of a highway system.
Recently developed i.proved aethods for the design of storm drainage facilities
for protection of highways froa flood hazards and abateaent of pollution from
hiKhway stora runoff require info~ation not only on the average intensity
and duration of the rainfall but also on Its time distribution. I.e •• the
hyetograph. In a previous investigation [Yen and Chow. 1977) the feasibility
of using the aethod of .oments to describe the temporal pattern of local design
storms was studied. Theoretical background and methodologies of the trian-
gular and trapezoidal deSign hyetographs based on the method of moments
were developed and analyzed by using 7,484 rainstorms at four locations in
the United States. It was found that the first mOllent triangular hyeto8raph
method was feasible and of practical simplicity. The two major purposes
of this investigation are (1) to reconfirm the feasibility and practicality
of the triangular hyetograph method by using a large number of rainstorms
from at least one station in each of the states; and (2) to establish the
national map of the nondimensional triangular hyetograph parameter and the
standard procedure of the method to be used by highway draina~e design engineers.

Highway storm drainage facilities are traditionally designed for a

specific peak discharge corresponding to a given return period. For highway
storm drainage systeas, data on storm runoff is usually unavailable or
inadequate. Therefore. the peak discharge for the specified return period is
usually converted'from rainfall data using a simulated rainfall-runoff-r"l~tion­
ship. There are four basic drawbacks of such an approach: (a) Flooding of
highways depends not only on the aagnitude of the peak discharge but also on
the volume and tt.e distribution of the storm runoff; (b) The ptor. runoff
pollution 1s contributed not only by the design rainstorm but also by other
rainstorms of different frequencies; (c) The rainfall-runoff relationship
is nonlinear and hence the frequency of a rainstorm need not be the Aame as
the frequency of the runoff it produces; (d) The design return period is
arbitrarily chosen. although sometimes based on past experience but without
a specific scientific method.

1
 In view of the above dravback8 of the conventional approach In
deteraining the design rainatora. for drainage faciliti~s and the recent
advance In the fields of hydrology and hydraulics. a thorough atudy to
develop a .are .. tisfactory . . thod for the deteralnation of the design ato~

runoff ia appropriate and desirable. Recent develo~nt in the hydraulic and

hydrololic sciencesha. laid sufficient background to attack the four aajor
drawbacks ju.t .entioned. The desiso return period can be determined by a
probability analy.i8 of risk. and uncertainties for the expected aervice
period of the drainage facilities. preferably with coat-benefit trade-off
consideration [Yen. 1970; Yen and Tang. 1976; Tseng et al •• 1975). On the
second and third drawbacks concerning the rainfall-runoff relationship. a
nuaber of advanced stora runoff ai.ulation wodels have been or are being
developed which are capable to aceount for the nonlinear effect (e.g •• see
Chow and Yen. 1976; COlyer ~nd Pethick. 1976]. However. theae methods
require hyetolraphs a. their input.

As to the firat drawback of determination of the volume and time distri-

bution of stora runoff. a prereq~i.ite is to know the ti.e distribution of
the rainfall, i •••• the hyetolraph. for the local area considered. There are
two different ca.es to be consid2red. One Is the determination of an
appropriate design rainstorm hyetograph to be used for the sizinl of the
dimensions of the drainage facilities. The other is a number of rainstorms
of different quantitative and qualitative characteristics to check the flood
releasin~ and pollution abatement aspects of the designed or existing facil-
ities. Presu.ably and eventually, the flooding and pollution control aapects
should be considered .i.ultaneously in the design to facilitate the cost-
effectiveness of the project. However, at present such a si.ultaneous con-
sideration i. not yet f . .sible because of the inadequate a prio~ information
on the installation eo.t of drainage facilities and the nearly total lack of
information on the daaage costs due to flooding and pollution.
The temporal pattern of netural rainfall (i.e., the geometry of the
hyetograph) at a location varies from stor. to storm, and the'patterns of
future storas cannot be predieted exactly. Therefore. prediction of the
hyetograph of future stor.. for drainage designa can only be achieved either

2
by subjective designation or hy statistical analysis of past records. In a
previous feaSibility study, Yen and Chow [1971] demonstrated tht" Rimpllcity
an,) l,rnctibility of using the triangular hyetograph method for delli~n of
highway drainage facilities. The as1n objective of thls inve,'Jtlgation is tu
utilize an extensive aaount of rainfall data which are of bes l : quality
presently avaUable. from at least one station per state, toutabl1sh the
values of tr1an~ll.r hyetograph parameters to be used by engineers for design
of highway drainage facilities.

This report set of four volumes summarizes the results of the study.

 II. PREVIOUS WORK ON TEMPORAL DISTRl~UTION
OF RAIN IN A STORM

Previously proposed aethods to describe the temporal distribution of

the· point rAinfall of a .tora can be grouped into the following four catagories:
(.) aethod of a.suaed distribution. (b) method of mass (cumulative depth)
curve, (~) aethod of relative ranking. (d) method of moments. Representative
work of each catagory i. discussed briefly in this chapter. Anyone of these
methods can be adapted to fit the time distribution of a particular rainstorm
satisfactorily. However, their ability to provide design hyetographs based
on the record of observed rainfall differ considerably.

A. Method of A. . u.ed Distribution

In this aethod the teaparal distribution of the rainfall of a storm

(i.e., the pattern of the hyetograph) is descrihed hy an assumed distribution.
Various distributions such as triangular, gamma, and beta distributions have
been proposed. The most famous in this group is the dual-power function
distribution proposed by Keifer and Chu [1957J. Their distribution is shown
in Fig. 1. The design hyetograph is characterized by a parameter ~ which is
the ratio of the occurrence time of the instantaneous peak rain intensity to
the duration of the rainfall considered. The constants in the distribution
function are taken from the constants a, b, and c in the rainfall intensity
formula -i - a/(tb + c) where -i is the average rain intensity over the duration
d
td' From the 5-minute interval data of 27 selected heavy rainstorms recorded
at one to four gaging stations in Chicago between May 1935 and May 1955, they
selected the maximum rainfall depths for specified durations (not tru~

rainstorm durations) of 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes. Based on a study on
the distribution of the 5-minute rainfall within these specified durations,
they proposed the dual-power function distribution and suggested y - 3/8.
Actually they adjusted the time distribution of the rainfall according to
the Chicago sewer system in ordpr to make the simulated runoff conform with
the measured sewer flow. It is difficult to justify this adjustment because
th£ rain coming from the sky would not be affected by the behavior of the
sewer flow. Moreover, it should be noted that the dual power function

it ia an envelope ~urve.

Descriptior of Keifer and Chu's design hyeto~raph has been in~luded

in aBoy publiabed literatures. and hence it is well known. However. its use
bas not been popular because it 1s relatively difficult to establish and it
involves certain degree of judgement. Chen [1976] has demonstrated the tedious
procedure to establish the design hyetograph.

Moreover. Keifer and Chu did not actually find the true y values for
the 27 rainstorms they studied. They obtained the y values for the specified
durations they considered. not the true rainstorm durations. Considerable
variation of the value of y exists for natural rAinstorms. It is rather
difficult to obtain accurate estimates of y fro. the 5-minute rainfall data
or from the standard U.S. National Weather Service hourly precipitation
data. Using Keifer and Chuts definition of rainfall duration. Bock [1960].
Chen [1976] and Keifer [1960] found considerable random variation of y
from the suggested value of 3/8. Yen and Chow [1977] showed that using the
actual d'lrations of 138 rainstorms at four locations the statistical mean of y
for each location differs from 3/8 and is not constant for different
durations.

The reader may refer to l'i1grim and Cordery [1975] for a brief
review of other studies using assumed distributions.

B. Method of Mass Curve

Another popular method to describe the temporal distribution of rain-

fall is to use the mass eurve, i.e., the curve of cumulative rain depth
versus time. A typical rain depth mass curve is shown in Fig. 2. One
advantage of this approaeh is that the mass curve is essentially the record
of a clock-driven eontinuous recording raingage. The slope of the mass curve
is the intensity of the rainfall. However, in practice it is often found
tedious and sometimes inaceurate to obtain the hyetograph from the derivatives
of the mass curve [Ruthroff and Bodtmann, 1976].

Fig. 2. Rain-depth mass curves proposed by SCS
 Huff (1967) analyzed 261 heavy rainstorms in central Illinoishaving
durations from 3 to 48 hours to obtain dimensionless .ass curves of various
exceedance probabilities. He used 30-.inute time intervals and defined a
stora as a rain period separated from the preceding and succeeding rainfalls
by 6 hours or more. His dimensionless mass curve is not the Average of the
. .ss curves for the individual rainstorms. Instead, he first divided tbe
duration of each rainstor. into four quarters. Next the percentage of the
rain depth in each of the quarter time interval is determined for each of
the rainstorms. He then classified the rainstorms on the bapis of which
quarter time interval that tbe maximum interval rain depth falls into. For
example, those rainstoraa having the bighest percentage of rain depth in the
first quarter time interval are called the first quartile storms. Those
having the highest percentage of rain depth in the second quarter interval
are called second quartile storms. etc. ~ith the storas classified
according to the interval of occurrence of the highest percentage of rain
depth. the percentage of rain depth for each or the specIfied normalized
(by duration) time interval (he used ten subdivisions of the duration) is
computed for each rainstorm. The mean of the percentage of rain depth of each
specified time interval i. computed for each quartile class rainstorms. The
means of the percentag£ depth for consecutive time intervals give the average
temporal distribution of the specified quartile rainstorms. Actually Huff
computed the interval percentage of rain depths in terms of exceedance
probability instead of just the mean.

Another set of well-known a8sscurves describing the temporal distribu-

tion of rainfall is the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation
Service (SCS) 24-hour and 6-hour mess curves [SCS, 1972; Kent, 1973]. There
are two 24-hour mass curves. Type I is for the coastal states west of the
Sierra Nevada .auntains and interior Alaska, and Type II which is shown in
Fig. 2 is for the reaaining United States. The SCS 6-hour mass curve is also
reproduced in Fig. 2, with the time scale normalized by the rainfall duration
for use for other durations. The precise procedure on how these SCS mass
curves were developed was not documented.

~lven duratioll ar .. flrMt spl~~ted for a Klven location, Ench rainstorm is
subdivided into equal time intervals. nle intervals are ranked accord1ng to
the depth of rainfall in the interval. For each interval, the ranking of
different rainstormR are added from which the avprage ranking is computed
for this interval. The relative ranklngs of all the intervals of the duration
i ndieate the telllPoral diRtribution. A percentage of total rainfall is
assillned to each of the intervaiR ac(~ort.l ing to the mean ranking of the
Intervnl.

The method n'qlltre~ very Rhort time- interval rain data if a short

D. Method of Moments
The method of .aments is bascd on the idea that a hyetograph. being a
geometric figure. can be characteri~ed hy its moments with respect to the
cODlDcnce.ent of the rainhll. Since non~ of the rainstorms are alike, the
statistical means of the IDOments of many rainstorms indicate the average
characteristics of ~n expected rainstorm. Distributions having their geometric
parameters characterized by the moml!Rts will then be able to approximate the
pnttern of the expcch,d hyctograph hy prcserving the moments. Yen and Chow
r1977] I nv('st tgatcd the UIH.' of t rlan~uJ ar and trapezoidal distributions

9
characterized by the rainfall statistical moments. The triangular distribution
requires the use of only the first moment whereas the trapezoidal distribution
requires the first and second moments. They found that the accuracy of the
generally available rainfall data is insufficient to give reliable and meaningful
values of the third moment. Therefore. distributions requiring more than the
first two moments are at present unsuitable for practical uses. Hare details
on the triangular hyetographs using the method of moments are given in the
following chapter.

10
 II 1. ntEORY OF TR TANf.tlLAR HYETOCKAPJI HF.THOD

The trianlular design hyetograph ~thod 1s based on the assumed

triangular distribution of rainfall preserving the most i~portant (first
order) characteristic of the rai".storms -- the first time llOIIIent. The time
distributions of diffe~ent rainfalls at a location are different. It has r.ever
been observed of two identical natural rainstorms, and it probably will never
occur. Therefore, the future rainstorft hyetograph that is critical to the
design of a highway d~ainage facility can only be conjectural. One scientific
approach to gue•• the critical design storm is to utilize probability theJry,
i.e., the expected hyetolraph based on statistical analysis of past records.
[n the triangular hyetograph method, the parameter that is subject to statis-
tical analyst. uatng the past rainfall data is the first moment with respect
to the beginning of the rainfall.

The developa8nt of the triangular design hyetograph has been reported

elsewhere [Yen and Chow, 1977, IgaO). Therefore, only the theory that is
relevant to the present study is briefly described here.

A. Definition of Rainstorm

A prerequisite to the analysis of temporal distribution of rainstorms

is the definition of a storm. A number of definitions has been proposed by
different investigators, including the f~llowing.

(1) A rainstorm is defined as a continuous and intermittent rain having

intermittent elapse time less than a specified value. In other worus,
a rainstorm Is separate from another rainstorm by an elapse time g~eater

than the specified between-storm time interval. For example, Huff [1967]
used an elapse tiae of six hours to separate storms.

(2) A rainstorm i8 defined by a minimum elapse time that separates rainstorms

such that there is no significant statistical correlation between
successive rainstorms. This elapse time can be established, e.g., through
a~to-correlation analysis of the rainfall data.

11
 (3) A "atora" i. conaiderr.d as one that has a depth of rainfall exceeding a thres-
hold value within a specified length of time. In other word •• it could be act-
ually only the heavy part of a continuous rainfall while the light rain before and
after the specified lenath of time Is ignored. Examples of this approach
include the aelection of the Nation,.l Weathet' Service "excessive
precipitation" and the "Chicago method storm" by Keifer and Chu [1957].

(4) A rainstorm 1s defined as the rain comin~ from the same rain cell which
contains a number of subcells (rain clouds) that are moving as 8 unit.
At a point on the ~round the rainfall from the same rain cell is conSidered 8S
one rainstorm. although there are intermittent no-rain intervals between
the subcel1s. This definition is perhaps the IDOst desirable one from
the physical viewpoint, but it is difficult for adoption in applications
unles8 the information on the rain cell is available.

(5) A rainstora is considered as a continuous rainfall. Whenever there is a

period of no rain, it is regarded as separating two rainstorms. The
rainstorms defined by this definition depends on the time interval ~t

used in recording the rainfall data. Any actual elapse time less than
At will not be detected and the two discontinued rainfall would be
considered 8S one storm. Any elapse time longer than 26t will separate
the discontinuous rainfall into two separate storms. Any elapse time
between At and 26t in !ength mayor may not separate the rainfall into two
storms, depending on the times of cessation and commencement of the
intermittent rainfall relative to the position of the time interval ~t.

Theoretically and physically, the fourth definition of rainstorm is the

most desirable one whereas the third and fifth are the least desirable.
However, the shortest time interval of the NWS precipitation data is in clock
h 0 u r. which is sufficiently long to separate rainstorms according to the
fifth definition not significantly different from those using the fourth
definition. Thus. the fifth definition becomes attractive because of its
relative easiness in digital computer manipulation. Unfortunately. the same
cannot be said if 6t is five minutes.

In view of the above discussion and the fact that IOOSt of the data used in
this study are the NWS hourly precipitation data. the fifth definition is
adopted in this study because of its practicality.

E. Statistical Analysis of Rainstorm Parameters

The rainstora parameters described in the preceding two sections can be

computed for each D~.erved rainstorm on the rainfall record. However, pas~

rainstorm patterns will not be repeated exactly. Future rainstorms can assllm£>

infinite number of time patterns and the probability of occurrence of any

pattern is essentially zero. Therefore, the time pattern of a future
rainstorm can only be predicted by using probability theory and based on
statistical analysis of past records. The statistical mean condition of the
past is adopted as the expected condition in the ruture, and there is a
confidence interval to express the uncertainty of the prediction.

In the method of hyetograph representation by the method of mom£'nts,

the dimensional and nondimensional rainstorm parameters are computed by using
a computer program SATtI (sec Chapter 4 of Vol. III) for each rainstorm. The
recorded rainstorms in the selected season at a given location are classified
according to the duration and depth range of the storms. A statistical
analysis 1s then performed on the rain data in a class to find the mean and
variation for ea -:h of the parNlleters. Of particular interest is the nondimens ional
o
peaking time a since it is the only value required for the nondimensional
triangular hyetograph.

'l1te depth of the design rain fa 11 is a function of the rainstorm

duration and return period. The design return period is either specified in the
design code or obtained through a trade-off of costs and benefits of the project.
The duration of the design storm presumably is equal to the critical length
of time that would allow the water in the entire drainage basin to flow to
the point of interest in order to.produce a critical flood for the design.
Once the design return period and duration are determined, the design storm
depth can be obtained from U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) publications
(Tec~nical Paper No. 40, NOAA Atlas 2. or HYDRO-35) or through a frequency
analysis of the depth-duration-return period relationship using available data
as described in Chapter 3 of Vol. III. Since the aforementioned rainfall are
point depth, an area reduction factor is recommended for areas larger than
2
8 square miles (20kll). Area reduction factor maps are shown in Fig. 2 of
Vol. Ill. These maps were developed based on information in a NWS report
[Hyers and Zehr, 1980] and data in-Illinois. It should be noted chat the area
reduction factor curve~ presente1 in NWS Technical Paper 40 and appeared in
many publications are roughly the upper-bound va11les close to the 2-year
cut·ves.
User's guide and procedure on application of the triangular design
hyetograph is given in Vol. Ill.

 IV. RAINfALL nATA UTll.IZEI>

The rainfall data utilized-in the development of the values of the

hyetograph parameters included the hourly data for 222 U.S. National Weather
Service (HWS) raingage stationa and S-a1nute data for 13 raingage stations in
the agricultural experi. .ntal watershed network of the U.S. nepartment of
Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (ARS).

A. National Weather Service Hourly Data

The entire file of the NWS hourly precipitation data that is available
on aagnetictapes fTom NOAA Environmental Data Service National Climatic Center
was purchased and Bcreene4 (rom which 222 stations were sel~cted for an~lysis.

The name, station number. and period of record of these selected stations are
listed in Table 1. The criteria in selecting the stations are as follows:

(1) At least one station for each State is selected.

(2) Stations should be sufficiently spread out to provide a good geographic
distribution.
(3) Only weighing raingage stations with measurement resolution of 0.01 in.
of rain depth are selected. Preferences is given to NWS first order
stations. Stations using Fischer & Porter gages of 0.1 in. resolution
are rejected.
(4) At least 15 continuous years of record should be available. The only
exceptions are three NWS first-order stations: San Juan. Puerto Rico
(12 years); Burlington, Iowa (14 years); and Seattle-Tacoma. Washin~ton

(14 years).
(5) For the seasOft to be analyzed for the selected station. there should
not be excessive amounts of missing or accumulated rainfall data.
(6) Preliminary screening of the data reveals no suspicious quality of the
data in terms of either original data recording or later data transcriLing.
Presumably the design rainstorm is a heavy rainstorm, most likely a
ronvection type rainstorm of relatively large depth. To avoid including snow
storms in the. analysis, the "season" selected for the present study is the
six months from April 16 to October 15 of each year, except for the stations
in Hawaii, California, and at Tucson and Yuma in Arizona. Astoria. Banden,
Eugene. and Portland in Oregon, and Olympia and Seattle-Tacoma in Washington.
For these 21 statioas, the data of entire year are analyzed.

§Digitized data for all stations end in December 1978 except Beltsville. Pill
which ends on 22 September 1978.
*Excluding rainstorms having dur~t1ons of l-hour and 6 or more hours.

25
 For each station the rainstorll's in the specl fled "eason are grouped
accolding to the duration. Only 2. 3. 4, and 5-hour durations are analyzed.
Usually more than half of the rainstorms have a nominal duration of one hour.
These I-hour rainstoraa are not analyzed because they provide only the
t - 0 . JC an d a 0 = 0 . 5 . Durations of 6 hours or lonaer
trivial resu1 ts 0 f _D h

ha\'e too few rainstorms to give statiRtically meaningful results and hence
not analyzed.
From the hourly data of the NWS stations selected. more than one million
rainstorms were screened. Of these a total of 274.884 rainstorms of 2, 3, 4,
and 5-hour durations were analyzed.

The NWS hourly precipitation data were supplied in magnetic tape~ of the
following specifications: 9-track, 1600 bpi, EBCDIC, odd parity, phase encoded.
The data were entered in the NWS standard card image format Deck 4BB (TD-9657)
as shown in Fig. 6. However, it was found that none of the stations screened
have the data entered exactly according to the format. Three of the mo~t

comm~n rroblems are:

(1) Each date with rainfall there are two cards with the first 12 hours on
the first card and the second 12 hours on the second card (Fig. 6).
However, often these two cards are reversed.
(2) The precipitation data are missing for one or more hours.
(3) The precipitation data for one or more hours are not recorded in the
proper hour, but the accumulated depth for several hours is known and
recorded in the last of the accumulated hours.
The computer program SATII used in thb study and described in Vol. III cal
,
detect and handle'these three data problems. The output of the computer program
prints a list of tbe missing and accumulated data together with tables of results
for each station analyzed. Because of the large volume of the list. the miSSing
and accumulated data for the 222 NWS stations analyzed are not printed in this
report set. A file of the missing and accumulated data listing is kept at the
Hydrosystems Laboratory of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for
future reference.

Other NWS hourly precipitation data problems encountered in the analysis

include the following.

if the "next rain date" information in the preceding card is correct.
(6) The "next rain date" information (last two columns of the second card
of a date) is .issing, incorrec~ date entered, or incorrectly entered
in wrong columns (e.R., in columns 78 and 79), or entered with incorrect
symbols (e.g., @, I, t, <, 2., 1Z).
(7) First-day cards of a month are misRinp,.

Because of these data problems the NWS hourly precipitation data were first
printed out, exallinated, and corrected for the (4) through (7) and other
mistakes before analysis.

In addition to the above problems, there is no assurance that the data

entered on the tapes are correct. For example, a not-sa-unusual case is tne
data being entered at incorrect time (one hour off) during day-light savings
ti.e. Unfortunately, for most of the stations it is impossible or impractical
to check such incorrect data.

B. USDA ARS Rainfall Data

The five-minute rainfall data were obtained from the preCipitation data
of tne agricultural experimental watersheds supplied by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) Water Data Laboratory.
The data were collected from the raingages at the USDA ARS agricultural
experimental watersheds and digitized and recorded on magnetic tapes in break-
point mass curve fora, i.e •• recording the amount and time of change as a
break point when a change of the rate of precipitation occurs.

From the data supplied by the USDA ARS Water Data Laboratory, 13 stations
geographically distributed over the United States and each having a r~cord

longer than 10 years were selected for the present study. The break-point
data for the "season" of April 16 to Octot-er 15 of Lhcs .. stations were
converted fnto 5-minute data for analysiS. The stations and their periods of
record are listed in Table 2.

There are two ways to transform the break-point data into 5-minute data:
clock-time five minutes or real-time five minutes. The clock-time 5-minute
data record the amount of precipitation in a five-minute clock time intervals,

i.e •• 1-5. 6-10, ••• 56-60 minutes of each hour. The rainstorm may not st;Ht and
end at the beginning of each time interval. Conversely, the real-time 5-minute
data starts at the commencem~nt of the precipitation and continuous un in
suceeding 5-minute intervals while the beginning of each interval needs ot
and usually Is not a convenient clock time. Although the clock-time data
D
could give either larger or smaller values of t and aO than the actual v'llues
for a rainstorm, intuitively the statistical means of iDand a O for a large
number of rainstorms would tend to be smaller fOT the real-time data than for
the clock-time data.

 ,
Consider the true duration of a rainstorm as td R n~t + r where 6t is
the constant tt.e interval. n is an integer, and c is the residue When

td cannot be divided evenly by ~t. As shown in Fig. 7. the nominal duration of

a rainstorm corresponding to ~t is td - (n + 1) ~t or td - (n + 2) At
depending on whether the lag, L. of the actual commencement of rainfall after
the beginning of the first 6l is less or greater than 6t - c. If E - 0,
,
td - nAt - td is also a rare possibility.

Let the true nondt.enaional triangular hyetograph peaking time a'o -

~'/t~ where a' is the dimensional peaking time. The nominal nondimensional

Assume equal probability of L as well as £ to vary within the range of 0 to ~t,

the expected value of aO/a'o for a large number of rainstorms can be obtained
from the joint probability of the cases L < At - E and L > 6t - £ and
integration of Eqs. 4.1 and 4.2. The result is that for n - 2 and 3 thE'

nominal peaking time a is about 10% larger than the true a'o For larger
values of n the error is less. This analysis of aO/a'o is applicahle to the

 V. RESULTS OF ANALYSIS

This chapter presents a summary alld discussion of the results of the

an;-Ilysis of the NWS hourly and ARS 5-minute Jata to establish ~he trian~lllar

hyetograph method for design of small highway d:-ainage facUities. Ilt'tai 1

results of the data analysis are kept on file at "i~WA and at the Hvdrm,ystems
I~boratory of the University of lilinois at Urbana-Champaign and sample
results are presented in Vol. 4 of this report set.

A. Rainstorm Classifications for An~lJ[~~

Based on physical reasoning. one would postulate that the temporal

pattern of convective type rainstorms are generally different from thac of
cyclonic type rainstorms. For design of small drainage facilities. the former
type which is characterized by relatively sbort duration and heavy intensity
is of particular interest. Since the type of rainstorms is available neither
from the NWS hourly data nor from the ARS data, it was decided to group
the rainfall data according to the rain depth on the basis that for the
group with large depths the mGjority of the rainstorms are likely to be
dominant by convective type. whereas the small depth group contains primarily
c.yc.lonic type rainstorms. Becallse there exists no information on quantitative
dirferentiation of convective type rainstorms from cyclonic type rainstorms
based on the depth and duration of rainfall, the rainstorms of n given
duration at a given location is arbitrarily classifi~d into the following
four cumulative depth groups:
(1) D ~ 2D in which D is the rain depth of the storm, D is the mean
- mean mean
depth of all the rainstorms having the same duration at the given
location;
(2) D a Dmean;
(3) D ~ 0.5 D ; and
mean
(4) All rainstorms having the same duration at the location.
Originally the classification was made according to the following mutually
exclusive depth ranges:
(5 ) D :- 2D
- mean;
(6) 2D > D > D .
mean - mean'
(7) D > D > 0.5n
mean - mean;
(8) O.SD > D ~ 0.01 in.
mean

33
However, in the process of the analysis it was found that,despite the large
total nuaber of rain.toras utilized in this investigation, the number of
storas in each of the clallfles of (5) through (8) I)f given location and duration
is often not sufficiently large to give statistically significan~ stable
result.. Rearouping .ccor~ing to (1) through (4) yields more stable results
and still preservina the significance of depth ranges.

As mentioned previously, the rainstorm9 listed in Table I for each of

the NWS stations are clas.ified accordin~ to durations as 2, 3, 4, and
5-hour rainstorms, and for each duration, further classified into the four
depth groupa, (1) through (4) as listed in Table 3. The number of rain-
stor.s and the computed aean values of the nondimensional rainstorm parameters,
aD, to, and Gi, for each class are summarized in Tables Al to A222 in
Appendix A of this vol~. More detailed results of the mean, standard
deviation, and range of 12 rainstorm parameters (t , D, i, t, G, dimensional

B. Variations of N(';ndimensional Hy'etograph Parameters

The results of analysis are summarized in Tables Al - A222 and B1 - B13

in the Appendices 'of this volume. The values of a O are also plotted in Figs. 8
to 16. For the NWS data, for durations of 3, 4, and 5 hours, a O values are
shown in Figs. 9 to 11 only for the depth range D -> Dmean • In Figs. 8 ~~ 11,
the NWS raingage stations are located at the middle digit of the aD vailies.
In Figs. 12 to 16, the ARS stations are located at the decimal point of a O
values. From these results, aided by the detailed results not presented, the
variations of the nondimensional hyetograph parameters a O , t
_0
and Gi' can be
observed and described as follows:

!-(i) Variation of a O As can be observed from 1-'igs. 8 to 11 and Tables Al -

A222, in general aO varies from 0.2 to 0.5 &nd there is a trend of increasing
a O from the Southeast United States to the Northeast. There also appears to
be a gradual increase towards the New England region. However. the most rapid
changes are in the west coastal and mountain states, for which the changes
appear to be associated with orographic i~Eluence.

Fig. 16. Values of a O fOT I-hour Tainstorms from ARS 5-minute data
 The results also show that as thl' depth of rainstorm jn(·rt'asl'~ a
decreases. In the average the rainstorms in the top t1cl)lh quarti1t' hilv(' thl'ir
a O 'Ialues about 10 to 20 percent smaller than the <1vellar,(' :to of ., II till' rain-
storms of the same duration. The reason for this varfiltion is obvious. 1I~';lV\,

rainstorms are most likely conVf~ctlve type storms which t('nd to Iw hl'avy at
the beginning.

The effect of duration on the variation of a O is less significant in

comparing to the effects of location and depth, but rar more uncertainty. It
appears that the effects due to the nO::li08l duration td as compared to the true
,
duration t , the data recording time interval ~t ts compared to the duration,
d
the clock time vs. real time in data recordina. and the definition of
rainstorm are collectively more significant than the true duration effec~
making a reliable assessment of the duration effect impossible. Suffice with
the definition of rainstorm in this study that the' effects at ~i:ographic

locations and depth ranges are more dominant and important than the true
effect of duration on aO. and hence for practical purpose at present the
pffp.rt of duration can be neglected.
B-(ii) Variation of to As shown in Tables Al to A222 and 81 to 813, most
_0
of the values of the first time moment arm of the hyetograph, t , vary between
0.35 and 0.5 which is a smaller range than that for most of aD, 0.2 to
_0
0.5. Furthermore. t varies in a manner similar to a O , i.e., (1) a general
trend of increasing values from the Southeast towards Northwest; (2) relatively
more "advanced" rainsrorms for heavy storms with large depths than for light
storms of small depths; in other words, for heavy rainstorms statistically
speaking a large fraction of the rain water fall in an earlier time of the
duration than for light rainstorms; (3) the effects of geographic location
and rainstorm depth are relatively more significant than the effect of
rainstorm duration.

8-(iii) Variation of Gi -- Most of the G~ values for the stations analyzed

fall within the range of 0.2 to 0.35. No general trend of variation is
observed. Despite this small range of variation of C° , reliable trapezoidal
l
design hyetographs cannot be established in a systematic manner for the entire
United States because of the sensitivity of the peak rainfall intensity of
the trapezoidal hyetograph to the combined effect of the values of to and G~.
However, this dee. not preclude the possibility of a different two-parameter
geometric figure that could be adopted satisfactorily as design storm hyeto-

first and second ti_ 1IOMnt8 and the equations giv@n in Yen and Chow (1917 J
or to establish other tvo~t geometric fiRures of hyetographs. The desire
of having a trapezoidal or siailar hyetosraph is for the design of dralnag@
facilities of relatively larger basins (e.g., SO square ailes or 130 kmZ)
than those suitably served by the triangular d.sign hyetographs. Since these
alternatives are beyond the scope of the present study, no further discussion
on this aspect is siven in this report.
C. Effect of Data "cord ins Time Interval
The accuracy of the ca.puted time moments of the hyetograph. based on
which the trlanRular and trapezoidal design hyetographs are established,
depends on the folloving factors which are directly or indirectly related to
the recording tiae iDterval of the data.

The recording time interval, At;

~lether clock time or real time of ~t is used in recordin~:

The definition of rainstorm;

,
The true rainstorm duration. td; and
The rainstorm commencement clock time.

The effect of clock-time recording vs. real-time vas discussed in the

preceding chapter. Consistent with designers' viewpoint. a rainstorm has been
defined in this report as continuous non-zero depths in successive At's. Thus,
the rainstorm so defined and the last two factors listed above lire all
dependent on the data recording time interval, At. Therefore: a study of
the effect of ~t is most desirable. The 5-mlnute clock-time data generated
from the ABS break-po at data for 13 stations were used in an attempt to
investigate the effect of At. Rainstorm data having the recording time
interval 6t - 15. 30. and 60 minutes were generated from th~ 5-minute clock-
time data as shown in Table S. These data. of different At's are screened to
identify the rainstorms according to the storm definition. and then sorted
according to the duration and depth, subsequently subject to the same kind of
class statistics analysis as for the S-minute and NWS hourly data. The
results are summarized in Tables B1 to B13 for comparison. It can be seen
that the variation of a- due t~ At is rather random and no obvious trend can

not be too short to avoid incorrect results. For example. for 6t K 5 minutes.
O
"rainst.orms" having td ~ 15 minutes give a drop in a values. indicatinp in fact
such short duration "storms" may not be truly and completely independent of
each other. They may be rain bursts co~og from different rain cells of the
same cloud •

Conversely. the ratio td/At appears to affect the computed values of

aD if the value of the ratio is small. Rainstorms having tdJ6t equal to
O
2 or 3 tend to have higher values of a and asymptotic to a constant as td
increases. For example, the value of a O for a 2-hour rainstorm from a
one-huur ~t data is higher than that of a 2-hour rainstorm from a 5 or 15
minute At data. Contrarily. as shown in Figs. 13 and 15 for which

not digit.ized and hence unsuitable for computer manipu]atfon. To investlr,ate
reliubly the direct and tndirect effe~ts of ~t. the basic di~iti?ed data
should have a recording time of one minute or half a minute. Such a short
recording time interval reaches the resolution limit of the original data
recording chart of 6 hours per revolution and exceeds ",hat one can obtain
from a 24-hour or longer recording charts. Analysis of such a large amount
of data ",ithout using a computer is impractical. Conversely, digitizing
of such data in a fine resolution is a monumentary job that has not been
undertaken by anyone, and it is far beyond the resource of the present
investigation. Nevertheless, cross examination of the results of the present
study indicates that statiscally the collective effect of the 4t and rain-
storm-definition-related factors is only secondary and hence can be
neglected at this stag~ provided the rainstorm duration exceeds 15 minutes
and td/4t exceeds 2.

D. National Map of aO

Usually the local design storm for highway drainage facilities is a

heavy rainstorm. With reference to the values of a O presented in Figs. 8 to
16 and in Appendices and based on the nature of heavy rainstorms discussed
previously, a national map of a O is developed as sho~~ in Fig. 17 to be uSfd
for design of small drainage facilities. The map is applicable for heavy rain-
storms ",ith depth D > 2Da • an where Drnean is the statistical mean value of the
depths of all the rainstorms of the same duration. However, in practice
the true value of DlDean is unknown and its estimate is difficult because of
the large quantity of data required. Thel~efore, an alternate, approximate
depth must be developed to replace D as a practical limitation of the
mean
validity of the map. Based on a statistical analysis of the available data,
the rain depth range that Fig. 17 is applicable is

D > 0.12 (t
d
+ 0.5) Dr (5.1)

depth correspondtna to the rsinstor. having a r~turn period of two-yrars and

duration of one hour. One should be aware that the a O valuea given in the map
are the expected value of heavy rainstorms. Since there is a probability distri-
bution of aO, there i8 50% chance that a heavy rainstorm of the design return
period, duration. and depth would have the corresponding value of a O aaaller
than that given in the map.

Occasionally rainstorms of relatively ...11 depths may also be considered

in design and analy.i. of drainage facilities. For example. when storm runoff
pollution or storage control are under consideration for which light but frequent
rainstorms also contribute. Many factors affect the values of aO of light rain-
storms. Nevertbel'~a •• for practical purpose the value of a O of a light rain-

td' Its appearance is primarily the result of chosing the two-year one-hour

 VI. CONCWSIONS AND RECOIMENDATIONS

The triangular hyetograph aethod for design of drainage facilities

for ... 11 watersheds i. developed on the basis of the method of .aments. In
the development of the method, considerations were given to both simplicity
in practical applications and preservation of the most important (first order)
characteristic of the time distribution of rainfall, namely, the statistical
mean of the f!rst ttae IDOIMnt an of tbe byetographs. Instead of giving only a
constant design rainfall intensity over the design rainfall duration as
commonly obtained from the intensity-duration-frequency analysis, the new
method gives the time distribution of the rainfall, i.e., the design hyetograph.

Sinc~ rainstorms have different temporal and areal distributions of rain-

fall, the teaporal distribution of the rainfall of a future storm cannot be
predicted exactly. Thus, the design storm hyetographs can only be estimated
statistically. Based on the results of statistical analyses of 293,946 rain-
storms and the triangular hyetograph method, a national map of the key non-
dimensional parameter, peaking time aD, of the design triangular hyetograph 1R
developed and given in Fig. 17. The rainstorms analyzed were selected from
more than one million rainstorms of 222 stations in the National Weather Service
hourly precipitation data file and 13 stations in the USDA ARS experimental
watersheds precipitation break-point data file. The rainfall data in the 16
April to 15 October "season" for each station are classified according to the
rainfall duration and depth groups for the statistical analysij.

The results of the statistical analysis indicate that there is a general

trend of increasing a O and the nondimensional first time moment arm, r~ f'om the
Southeast United States towards the Northwest,and in a less degree towards the
New England region as shown in Fig. 17. In most cases the values of a O fall
within the range between 0.2 and 0.5 while to within the range between 0.35 and
0.5. Except for the contiguous United States west of the Rocky Mountains,
New England, and for other areas with significant orographic effects, the values
of a O and to vary within rather small ranges.
The results of analysis confirm that heavy rainstorms of large rain
depths, presumably mostly convective type rainstorms, tend to have small aD,
i.e •• "advanced" stons with early peak. Conversely, light rainstorms of S1II811

57
depths, presu.ably .ore of the cyclonic-frontal type, tend to I~ve .o.ewhat
later peak and hl&her ••• Thi. variation of a e with depth CaD be accounted
for by usin& the adjust.ent factor given In Eq. 5.2.

The effects of rainfall duration on a· and tOare only secondary in

ca.parison to the effects of geography and rain depth. However, the effect of
duration cannot be precisely asses.ed because the unknown true duration is not
necessary the s. .e as the na.inal duration obtained from the data.

With the national asp of a· available. the use of the triangular

byetograph as the design storm for local drainage facility is rather simple.
The procedure of application is given in Vol. III of this report set. This
procedure i. reca.aended for design of hiRhwav stora drainaRe facilities for
watersheds no .ore than 20 square ailes (50 km2) in size. For larger watersheds
use of the trapezoidal hy.tograph should be considered.

With the analysis of a large number of rainstoras at 235 locations 1~

the United States. the feasibility and practicality of the method of triangular
hyetograph has been confirmed. However. the method can clearly be improved with
experience of applications and improved data. For example, a more thorough
study of the effects of the data recording tt.e interval, 6t, i3 desirable when
reliable long period. short recording time interval data become available as
discussed in Section V-C. Refinement of the values of a O in the national map
(Yig. 17) and its variation with rain depth (Eq. 5.2) and other details would
also improve the triangular design hyetograph aethad. To extend the applica-
bility of the design hyetograph to larger watersheds. extension of the method of
momen~ to trapezoidal hyetogr.phs uaing one or two moaents is desirable. Also.
in view of risk analysi., the design hyetograph need not be based on the ex-
pected (50%) value of aD. Instead. a probability distribution of aD would allow
selection of probabilistic d•• ign hyetographa. Furthermore. refineBent in the
definition of a rainstona and ita effects on the triangular hyetograph should
also be pursued.
