1) Enter the rainfall intensity values for the corresponding times of duration in the table below. Rainfall intensity can be found from the following NWS hyperlink: http://hdsc.nws.noaa.gov/hdsc/pfds/orb/nc_pfds.html 2) Select the rainfall Intensity that corresponds to the trial time of duration that is equal to or less than the calculated time of concentration. 3) Copy the selected rainfall intensity into cell below. 2-year Rainfall Intensity, i (in/hr) 10-year Rainfall Intensity, i (in/hr) 7.08 Trail Time of Duration tr (min)
