Regional rainfall design parameters of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems based on a stochastic approach. Case study: United States of America.

This study is focused on the regional definition of hydrologic design of parameters for Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems in order to improve rainwater management. Design parameters are derived from local rainfall regime. Rainfall series are characterized by their main attributes, such as magnitude, intensity (mean/max), duration, time between events, among others. The goal is to obtain a satisfactory performance of the facility under design conditions, specified in terms of relevant variables associated to different return periods. The objective of this study is to estimate the rainfall parameters for SuDS design at a regional scale and based on a stochastic approach.
