Many methods for creating reference hyetographs are described in the literature. The aim of the work was the analysis of the shapes of local precipitation hyetographs and the verification of the reference shapes of rainfall hyetographs used for the drainage systems designing and modeling its operation in Poland (Euler type II and DVWK models). The research material was represented by historical records of rainfall data from the measuring station located in Jelenia G\u00f3ra (Poland). Rainfall were grouped due to the similarity of physical features, using various methodologies: Huff, cluster analysis using the Ward and k-means methods. The k-means method proved to be especially useful for selecting precipitation in terms of shape hyetographs. The statistical analysis of the similarity of the rainfall hyetograph shapes was performed within the separated genetic clusters, based on the parameters of mass distributions and unevenness over time. The comparative analysis allowed for the positive verification of the Euler type II and DVWK models for the tested station.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/w12010149","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,3]],"date-time":"2020-01-03T11:55:07Z","timestamp":1578052507000},"page":"149","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Analysis of Hyetographs for Drainage System Modeling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Wartalska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Water Supply and Sewerage Systems, Faculty of Environmental Engineering, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4933-8451","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bartosz","family":"Ka\u017amierczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Water Supply and Sewerage Systems, Faculty of Environmental Engineering, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monika","family":"Nowakowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Water Supply and Sewerage Systems, Faculty of Environmental Engineering, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrzej","family":"Kotowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Water Supply and Sewerage Systems, Faculty of Environmental Engineering, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"00088","DOI":"10.1051\/e3sconf\/20184500088","article-title":"A critical evaluation of the methods for the determination of required volumes for detention tank","volume":"45","author":"Starzec","year":"2018","journal-title":"E3S Web Conf."},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Polish Standard PN-EN 752 (2017).
