Abstract
Simulations of fifteen real storms recorded at eight rain gauges, located in Milan, were carried out in order to test the sensitivity of the spatial distribution of the rain on runoff volumes and peak discharges. For this purpose a large urban watershed was selected and spatially uniform and nonuniform rainfalls were input in a previously calibrated model. Results of simulations show that a uniform storm pattern can lead to significant underpredictions of rainfall volumes and, expecially, of peak discharges.
