Abstract

Abstract: The intensity of precipitation plays a crucial role in hydraulic engineering when creating hydraulic structures and evaluating their impact. To design hydraulic projects such as drainage networks, bridges, and road culverts, Intensity-DurationFrequency (IDF) curves are used. These curves are heavily influenced by project planning, design, and operation in the field of water resources engineering and are also used in various flood structures. In this study, the frequency of rainfall intensity duration was determined in Kamti, Khari, catchments, Nagpur Maharashtra, from 1996 to 2019. Three different frequency analysis methods, including log-normal, Gumbel, and log-Pearson type III distribution, were applied to fit the corresponding curves. Analyzing the precipitation data is of great importance in this field..
