Question: The intensity - duration - frequency ( IDF ) relation for a 4 8 0 acrewatershed is given by: i = a T r d

The intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) relation for a 480 acrewatershed is given by: i=aTrdtdb+c where Tr is the return period in years, td is the rainfall duration in minutes, i is the rainfall intensity in in/hr, and a,b,c, and d are empirical constants 21.5,d=0.23. The watershed is row crops and small grains on Type B soil with an average runoff curve number CN=80 and has a time of concentration of 2 hours. The unit peak discharge for the Type II rain for the design storm is 210csm.
Use the NRCS peak discharge method to determine the 10-year peak discharge for this watershed in ft3sec?
The intensity - duration - frequency ( IDF )
