N2 - EBDLKUP.xls is a spreadsheet tool in current use by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) engineers and other design engineers for estimating intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) of design rainfall by county in Texas; the tool differs from discrete-duration IDF in that it facilitates estimation for real-value durations (not discrete durations). Research projects sponsored by TxDOT produced newer knowledge related to rainfall depths and the results of these studies are incorporated into a new tool EBDLKUP-NEW.xls projected for deployment in 4th Quarter of 2015. Added features are imbedded depth-duration-frequency (DDF) estimates for use with a companion tool TXHYETO.XLS to parameterize empirical Texas hyetographs, and imbedded documentation, including imbedded video training. The paper presents the companion tool, TXHYETO.XLS that simplifies the task of using the Texas dimensionless hyetographs; An example of tool use is presented-combined the two tools enhance hydrologic design capability for instances where either a single intensity is needed (EBDLKUP-NEW.XLS), or where an entire design hyetograph is needed (TXHYETO.XLS).
