Features: This book summarizes the comprehensive research on the analysis of China's rainstorm characteristics and the calculation of design rainstorms conducted by the China Water Conservancy and Hydropower Department since the 1950s. It primarily discusses the characteristics of rainstorm distribution on the ground of China; briefly describes the principles of design rainstorm analysis and calculation precautions. The book elaborates on the data foundation, analytical methods, and main research results of major rainstorm factors related to water conservancy and hydropower engineering (such as extreme rainstorm amounts, statistical characteristics, time-area-depth relationships, time-area-rainfall patterns, rainstorm days, rainstorm water resources, seasonal variations, etc.); compiles comprehensive charts and graphs of national rainstorm research (including over 100 maps reflecting the distribution of various rainstorm characteristics or isohyetal lines across the country), as well as the analysis results of rainstorm characteristics in representative locations and the characteristics of representative heavy rainstorms (including isohyetal maps of over 80 heavy rainstorms and typical rainstorms); introduces single research achievements on rainstorms and lists more than 300 references; provides a rainstorm zoning map and briefly describes the rainstorms in each zone. For easy reference, a brief overview of over 300 rainstorm and flood events is listed in the appendix at the end of the book, providing basic data and analytical clues for future research. This book is suitable for hydrological analysis and calculation personnel engaged in planning, design, management, research, and teaching in the water conservancy and hydropower system, as well as for engineering technicians and research, teaching personnel in civil construction, meteorology, geography, and related disciplines related to rainstorms and floods.
