<br />Task 2 <br /> <br />Pages 3-4: , <br /> <br />We note that this task confirmed NWS1995, Specifically; With respect to the NWS use <br />ofHMR 52 software we note that "no significant differences" were found between the <br />results obtained by the NWS and the results obtained by GeoClim, With respect to the <br />GRASS procedure; "no major problems were identified with the NWS files provided," <br /> <br />We do not understand the definition of "design storm" as used in the second sentence of <br />the first paragraph, HMR 52 provides basin-centered, accwnulated average depths of <br />non-orographic PMP for various durations, and provides hourly increments for these <br />accumulations. How these hourly amounts are arranged sequentially is a matter for the <br />user of the information (following broad outlines provided), to decide upon. It would <br />appear that IR#l is asswnes that NWS 1995 specifies a particular sequence of rainfall. <br />This is not the case, Commonly the term "design storm(s)" refers to the sequence and <br />location of rainfall amounts selected by the user based on the guidance provided by the <br />PMP study. <br /> <br />The tone ofIR#l could be improved ifthe authors replaced terms such as "correct" with <br />statements such as "in our opinion", <br /> <br />6 <br />
