Based on rainfall data of 11 dense networks of raingauges, area-depth curves for frequency values of rainfall for Indian regions have been drawn and are presented. These curves are for durations of 1, 3, 6 and 24 hours and for small basins upto 1000 sq. km. An equation giving the area-depth relation for any duration, has also been worked out.
