Question: Four rain gauge stations A, B, C, and D in a catchment area have a recorded 10, 15, 20 and 25 cm respectively. If their Thiessen weights at stations A, B, and C are 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 respectively, the average depth of rainfall on the catchment is
A one-day rainfall of 20.0 cm at a place X was found to have a period of 100 years. Calculate the probability that a one-day rainfall of magnitude equal to or larger than 20.0 cm.a) Will not occur at station X during the next 50 years. (Ans. 0.605)b) Will occur in the next year. (Ans. 0.01)c) Will occur once in 10 successive years
There is 10 rain gauge stations in a catchment. The annual rainfalls recorded by the gauges are the following: 102.3cm, 181.12cm 123.4cm, 43.5cm, 112.23cm, 88.89cm, 75.5cm, 69.69cm, 97.87cm, 111.11cm. For an 8% error in the estimation of mean rainfall, calculate the optimum number of stations in the catchment.

A rainfall hyetograph shows a) the total volume of rainfall for a storm event; b) the cumulative volume of rainfall with time over the duration of a storm event; c) the variation of rainfall event over a watershed; d) the intensity of volume of rainfall as a function of time; e) none of the above
A catchment area has seven raingauge stations. In a year the annual rainfall recorded by the gauges are as follows:For a 5% error in the estimation of the mean rainfall, calculate the minimum number of additional stations required to be established in the catchment.
A 6-hour rain of average intensity 2 cm/hour falls over the fern leaf type catchment as shown in Figurebelow. The time of concentration from the lines AA, BB, CC and DD are 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours,respectively, to the site 0 where the discharge measurements are made. The values of the runoffcoefficient C are 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7 for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd hours of rainfall respectively and attain aconstant value of 0.8 after 3 hours. Draw surface runoff hydrograph from the runoff collected from thecatchment and also calculate volume of direct Runoff.
Consider the catchment with recorded rainfall values as per the figure below (take the decimal point to be the measurement location). Calculate an average value of daily rainfall for this day using the Thiessen method.
