Document Summary
Figure 1 shows 26 representative rain stations in louisiana. Annual-maximum 24-hour rainfall to calculate (inches) data at six stations are listed in table 1. 20 m probable maximum precipitation (pmp) for station 1 (new orleans). [hint: you need to calculate mean and standard deviation from the data] Calculate annual-maximum 8-hour rainfall with a return period of 100,000 years in the baton. Rouge area using the data from station 5. Assume that the rainfall data in table 1 follows the generalized extreme value distribution. [hint: use the chen method to derive the idf curve.
