A low density of pluviometric stations on the coast of Ecuador, together with discontinuous and incomplete records, induce the estimation of the equations of the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves to be complex. It leads to overestimates or underestimates of rainfall in sectors without enough data. The purpose of this research is to create a regionalized map of the parameters for the equation of the IDF curves in the provinces of Santa Elena and Manabí. The precipitation data from the available meteorological stations were used in statistical analysis to verify if they adjust a probabilistic distribution. In addition, each parameter of the equations corresponding to each station has been determined by using multiple linear regression. The resulting parameters were distributed in the study area through spatial analysis methods such as Inverse Distance Weighting and Ordinary Kriging in the QGIS software. The validity of each method has been demonstrated with stations that have been excluded in the spatial analysis. Therefore, an error of less than 10% has been verified. The Ordinary Kriging method has shown a more adequate distribution, from which the map published in ArcGIS Online has been generated. This map allows the reading of the parameters for the equation of the IDF curves at any coordinate inside the study provinces.
