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 non uniform rainfalls were input in a previously calibrated model. Results of simulations show that an uniform storm pattern can lead to significant underpredictions of rainfall volumes and, especially, of peak discharges. -Authors

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 non uniform rainfalls were input in a previously calibrated model. Results of simulations show that an uniform storm pattern can lead to significant underpredictions of rainfall volumes and, especially, of peak discharges. -AuthorsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
