Abstract
Design rainfall is usually determined by magnifying historical data to an amount corresponding to a certain return period. However, the spatial distribution of the precipitation is usually not considered in the design rainfall computation. With this point of view, in this paper we aim to discuss the spatial characteristics of rainfall.
