    I. Solve the following:


    1. A catchment has a four raingauge stations. In a year, the annual rainfall recorded by the gauges
    are as follows:
    Station A B C D
    Rainfall(cm) 102.9 180.3 110.3 136.7
    a.) Determine the standard error in the estimation of mean rainfall in the existing set
    raingauge.
    b.) For a 10% error in estimation of the mean rainfall, calculate the optimum numbers of
    raingauge stations in the catchment.
    2. The watershed of a stream has 3 raingauge stations inside the basin. When Thiessen Polygons
    were constructed three more stations lying outside the watershed were found to have
    weightages. The details of Thiessen Polygons surroundings each raingauges in the month of
    June 2015 are given below:
    Raingauge Station A B C D E F
    Thiessen Polygon Area (Km² ) 720 1380 1440 1040 419 1456
    Recorded Rainfall (mm.) 153 145 137 128 99 101

    watershed in June 2015 by
    a.) Arithmetic Mean Method b.) Thiessen Mean method.
    3. The mass curve of rainfall in a storm of total duration 90 minutes is given below.
    Time (minutes) 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90
    Cumulative 0 2.1 6.3 14.5 21.7 27.9 33 35.1 36.2 37.0
    Rainfall(mm).

    b.) Plot the maximum intensity-duration curve for this storm.
    c.) Plot the maximum depth-duration curve for the storm.

    4. It is the plotted cumulative annual rainfall vs cumulative ten station average.
    a.) Double Mass Curve b.) Hyetograph c.) Mass Curve of Rainfall d.) Bar Chart
    5. Method of Calculating Areal Rainfall Averages based on interpolation between gauges,
    closely resembles the calculation of contours in surveying.
