2.1) Rain gauge X was out of operation for a month during which there was a storm. The rainfall amounts at three adjacent stations A, B and C were 4.2, 3.7, and 4.9 in; respectively. The averageannual precipitations amounts for the gauges are X=36.5, A=42.1, B=37.1, and C=39.8. the delta x and delta y values respectively for each station are X – 0, 0; A – 3, 7; B – 4, 6; and C -5, 9. Using aweighted average, estimate the amount of rainfall for gauge X
2.3) Compute the mean annual precipitation for the watershed in the following figure using the arithmetic mean, the thiessen polygonmethod, and isohyetal method. The gauge readings for gauges A-K are: 29.79, 34.97, 25.6, 24.27, 24.6, 42.61, 42.35, 15.51, 39.99, 43.04, and 28.41.
2.4) Compute the mean annual precipitation for thewatershed in the figure for the problem 2.3 using the arithmetic mean and the Thiessen polygon method. The gauge readings for a gauge A-K respectively are: 28.1, 33.7, 25.6, 23.9, 24.6, 40.7, 41.3, 37.2,38.7, 41.1, and 29.3.
Development exercise number 2.3
ARITHMETIC MEAN:
P=P1+P2+P3+…Pnn
P= 24.27+ 42.35+ 15.51+ 39.99+ 43.04+ 28.416
ℙ= 32.26 inch.
In this answer we can’t to use allprecipitations. Because this method doesn’t have present the station out-off the watershed.
For this reason we can to use only six precipitations.
