If CivilStorm is used to compute runoff, users need to enter rainfall information. The rainfall data required for a CivilStorm calculation depends on the runoff method in use. For example, if using the Modified Rational Method to compute runoff, then rainfall intensity-duration-frequency data is required. For other runoff methods, storm event data can be entered as cumulative depth versus time curves, incremental depth versus time curves, intensity versus time curves or dimensionless curves with total storm depth.
