Pluviometric and pluviographic data were used to obtain intense precipitation equation. The historical series of average maximum intensity of precipitation, corresponding to the different durations were submitted to statistical analysis to identify the probabilistic model that presented best fit for the data, this identification being performed using the adherence test of Kolmogorov-Smirnov at 5% level of significance. The methodology of the Disaggregation not only presented better overall performance (ERM = 27%) in comparison to the one of Bell (ERM = 31%), as it has better performance in stations with longer series, revealing, thus, more sensitive to the size of the series in relation to the Bell's method.
