Hydrology 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 37, 42 and 49 mm. The average annual precipitation amounts for the gauges are X = 694, A=726, B= 752 and C = 760mm. Using the Arithmetic/Mathematical method, estimate the amount of rainfall for gauge X.

Precipitation over a large area is not uniform, due to a climatic change as a result of pollution and other external factors. This has made it impossible to have an accurate measurement for rainfall intensity. Suggest a more suitable approach for the measurement of precipitation that will convince a civil engineer to adopt your approach for the measurement of flow depth?
In preparation of data what is the used as standard for comparison? a. optimal rainfall b. nominal rainfall c. average rainfall d. normal rainfall
