Design Storm Generators

From SCS Type II distributions to Chicago storms and ARR ensembles, design storm construction is a small task that hides many regional conventions. The tools below generate design hyetographs for the standards you are working under, ready to feed into HEC-HMS, SWMM or your own scripts.
