The occurrence of intense rainfall covering relatively small areas is a distinctive feature of summer precipitation in the southwestern States. In the design of engineering structures commanding small watersheds, the chance of experiencing one of these cloudbursts over the drainage-area is one of the governing factors. Owing to the small areal extent of these rainfalls of high intensity and to the long distances between rain-gages, it is seldom that more than one rain-gage is covered and the net result is a dearth of information on the subject of areal pattern.
