Abstract :
Introduction: The existence of random variables is the major reason for uncertainty in floodmodeling. One of the major random variables that can affect the shape of flood hydrographs is stormpattern among others. Storm pattern include duration, depth and time distribution for any eventproducing its corresponding flood event. Therefore, uncertainty analysis of flood modelingdepends on uncertainty analyses of those effective variables of storm pattern.Material and method: RPG model is introduced and it used of Monte Carlo simulation andBootstrap Resampling to generate rainfall pattern on Seymareh catchment.Result and discussion: Result of this paper show that 90 percent of observed rainfall duration and 98percent of observed rainfall pattern exit in generated RPG band.
