| Abstract |
The Gamma distribution function can be useful for fitting rainfall data. An integral part of the assessment of storm loads on water quality is the statistical evaluation of rainfall records. Hourly rainfall records of many years duration are cumbersome and difficult to analyze. The Gamma distribution can be a tool to examine variables of interest (volume, duration, intensity, and time between storms) which are of importance in determining seasonal trends and selecting control alternatives for storm related runoff. |
