DESIGN RAINFALL CALCULATION Page 1 of 4
Scope:
This document details the design rainfall calculation for Job of EIL at BPCL Mumbai.
Table of Historical Maximum Rainfall data (IMD) and corresponding hourly rainfall
Gumbel’s Extreme Value distribution method is used for calculating design rainfall intensity in mm/hr.
The rainfall (PT) corresponding of a given return period (T) using the Gumbel’s Distribution is given by,
The Mean and Standard Deviation are calculated using this formula,
and,
Mean of hourly rainfall from 1970 to 2022 for 1 hour duration = 75.44 mm
Standard Deviation of hourly rainfall from 1970 to 2022 for 1 hour duration = 21.12 mm
To estimate the maximum rainfall intensity for different duration and return periods, the following
empirical equation is used.
i = x * (td)-y
IT = i * R
