Precipitation is a significant factor for hydraulic designs and project schedule control. It is a very important subject by using the past rainfall records and certain analysis methods to find the distributions of rainfall for various hydraulic engineering designs. In this study the rainfall data for one hundred years are collected from the Central Weather Bureau in the Taipei Rainfall Station. This study is focus on the long duration of rainfall analysis. Using the annual maximum series and the annual exceedance series of daily rainfall to analyze and to fit each distribution. The Goodness-of-Fit Test and the Standard Error Method are used to compare the feasibility of the distributions. The results of this study show that the Pearson TypeⅢ distribution is the best choice for both annual maximum series and annual exceedance series analysis.
