Development of Huff curves for peninsular Malaysia

Huff curves are commonly used in drainage design The basic objective of the present paper is to report about the development of Huff curves for Peninsular Malaysia. Hourly rainfall data from 13 stations in Peninsular Malaysia were used in the study Data from about 5800 storms were divided into quart...
