Storm water calculation
Rainfall I ntensity
Rainfall intensity shall be calculated using the rainfall intensity curves presented by
AS Bazaraa &
S Ahmed in the paper Rainfall Characterization in an Arid Area, Dept of Civil
Engineering, Qatar
Univ. Doha, Qatar, Vol. 4 1991. The intensity duration frequency curves (IDF) are
presented in the figure below.

Q = 0.90x 1782 x 0.0254
Q = 40.73 m3/hr
By consider 50% safety factor
Storm tank capacity = 40.73x1.5 = 61.1 m3
Taken storm tank capacity =62 m3
