Abstract
In the science of hydrometeorology, many attempts have been made to investigate the areal‐depth relationship of rainfall, but little information has been obtained sufficiently to draw positive conclusions, particularly in connection with storms occurring in small watersheds. The writer is glad to see that this paper supplies the valuable information, resulting from area‐depth studies of rainfall, that maximum rainfall data for thunderstorm rainfall in small basins bear a linear relationship to the square root of area. As this relationship is expressible by a simple and workable equation, it is indeed very useful for many engineering purposes.
