Model for prediction of rainfall intensity in Lagos Department:Civil Engineering By: mattkings Project ID: 755 Rating: (3.3) votes: 6 Price:₦4000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractThis project describes a calibration analysis of rainfall model which has been developed to forecast monthly rainfall for a period of 60 years. The model has been calibrated using rainfall data from various stations in Lagos State from 1924 - 1983. This time series of rainfall has been subjected to statistical analysis using regression analysis as a management tool. The regression of the months of November, May, February and October are found to be adequate till 2040 for the prediction of rainfall intensity, while April, September, October, February, May and November are found to be adequate till 2008. However, Table 4.30 of June has 0.192845, Table 4.31 July of 0.100855, Table 4.33 of September of 0.004581, Table 4.35 of November yield coefficient of correlation (r), to be 0.018098 and Table 4.36 of December value of 0.227775 while others are negative values for the predicted period (1954– 1983). The model so formulated with the result obtained can be used to assist the government, hydrologist, consultants, engineers and others engaged in water resources projects....Preview Download Preview +Other Civil Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Comparing the compressive strength of concrete made with sand as fine aggregate and with chipping dust as fine aggregate»The comparative study of the compressive strength of concrete made with granite to that made with river round stone (pebble) and local stone»The use of computer in civil engineering»Importance of timber in civil engineering construction»Construction and Installation of a Panel Door»Construction of wardrobe key study on wood work»Effect of street trading on traffic performance and control»Assessment of different types of foundation and their mode of construction»Comparison of soil bearing capacity of different locations in Imo state»Investigation into the suitability of sand and gravel materials commonly used in building construction»Investigating the effect of partial replacement of cement with eggshell powder in concrete production»An investigation in to the causes of cracks in building and possible solutions - a case study of Kukar Gesa community in Katsina metropolis»Determination of the causes, effects of environmental pollution and its possible control within Kwara and Osun state»Suitability of available laterite material in Ilorin East local government area for road construction»Model for prediction of rainfall intensity in Lagos
