Rain Fall Curves

The document contains definitions and examples of a hyetograph, mass curve, and intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve. A hyetograph shows rainfall intensity over time in a graph. A mass curve plots cumulative precipitation values against time. An IDF curve represents the probability of average rainfall intensities occurring for different durations and return periods.
