The frequency distribution of the volume of water above a given threshold discharge is developed. This is done using basic and accessible information like the joint probability density function of rainfall intensity and duration together with expressions, to be derived, relating the volume of interest to rainfall intensity and duration. The resulting distribution function is in a closed analytical form containing only a few climatological and physical parameters of a catchment. This distribution function will be of great value in the design of storage devices, flood control systems, and storm water treatment facilities in urban areas.
