The intensity of rainfall is given by ______(a) I = R/(T+C)(b) I = R/(T×C)(c) I = (T×C)/R(d) I = (T+R)/CThe question was posed to me in semester exam.Question is taken from Rainfall and its Measurement topic in portion Hydro Electric Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) I = R/(T+C)

The explanation: The intensity of rainfall is given by,

I = R/(T+C)

Where, I = intensity in inches/hr.

T = Duration of rain storm in hours

R & C = these are constants quoted by different AUTHORITIES for different AREAS of world.

The intensity also DEPENDS on the area selected for the measurement.
