Maximum Half-Hour Rainfall

The maximum half-hour rainfall is required by SWAT+ to calculate the peak runoff rate. The maximum half-hour rainfall is reported as a fraction of the total daily rainfall, 0.5. If sub-daily precipitation data is used in the model, SWAT+ will calculate the maximum half-hour rainfall fraction directly from the precipitation data. If daily precipitation data is used, SWAT+ generates a value for 0.5 using the equations summarized in Chapter 1:3.
