In recent years, the rainfall characteristics and rainfall erosivity index have changed due to the increase of extreme rainfall events in Taiwan. Therefore, it is an important issue to revise the rainfall erosivity index to conform to the current climate. This study collected 10-minute rainfall data from 60 stations of the Central Weather Bureau in the eastern region for 17 years (2002 to 2018) and analyzed the annual average rainfall erosivity index of each rainfall station. The regression equations between the average rainfall erosivity index and rainfall were established for four seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter), dry and wet seasons, and each year. The rainfall erosivity index of different return periods was also established. The contour map of the spatial distribution of rainfall erosivity index was drawn. The results of this study can be provided to practitioners related to soil and water conservation as an important reference.
