Abstract

This research represents the first comprehensive derivation and analysis of Huff curves from instantaneous rainfall data in the Bouregreg and Chaouia region. By harnessing 25 automatic rain gauges collecting 5-minute resolution data since 2009, we have unlocked the temporal "fingerprint" of local storm events—revealing patterns that challenge assumptions and provide unprecedented precision for hydraulic infrastructure design.
