Abstract
Extreme Precipitation Analysis Tool (EPAT) Track: Water Resources Author(s): Robert Rahrs In general, Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) estimates are an attempt to define the greatest volume of precipitation in the watershed that could hazard the spillway capability of the dam for regulatory agency dam licensing. Currently, these studies have no designated standard of practice. Due to this problem, HDR along with the help of the Colorado Division of Water Resources has developed an Extreme Precipitation Analysis Tool (EPAT). The EPAT is GIS-based developed software that provides an automated objective application of accepted analysis techniques to a specific basin based on analyses of state approved extreme precipitation event climatology. This advanced GIS application was created by using ArcObjects VBA script. Robert Rahrs HDR Engineering Inc.
