Abstract

After briefly describing the Alexander'e technique an attempt has been made to determine the return period of the highest one-day point rainfall in east Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) by using this technique. This study has shown that a point rainfall of 20 inches or more in one-day has a return period of about 2,000 years.
