    Tut L2a -Q1


    • Briefly explain the difference between point rainfall and aerial rainfall.

    Tut L2a –Q2


    • The normal annual precipitation of
    five rain gauge stations P, Q, R, S
    and T are 125, 102, 76, 113 and 137
    cm respectively. During a particular
    storm the precipitation recorded by
    stations P, Q, and S are 13.2, 9.2,
    6.8 and 10.2 cm respectively. The
    instrument at station T was
    inoperative during that storm.
    Estimate the rainfall at station T
    during that storm. (Problem 2.2,
    Subramanya 4th Ed.)

    Tut L2a –Q3


    In a storm of 210 minutes duration, the
    incremental rainfall at various time intervals is
    given below:
    Time since start of the
    30 60 90 120 150 180 210
    storm (minutes)
    Incremental rainfall in the
    1.75 2.25 6 4.5 2.5 1.5 0.75
    time interval (cm)

    a. Obtain the ordinates of the hyetograph and


    represent the hyetograph as a bar chart
    with time in chronological order in the x-
    axis.
    b. Obtain the ordinates of the mass curve of
    rainfall for this storm and plot the same.
    What is the average intensity of storm over
    the duration of the storm?
    (Problem 2.4, Subramanya 4th Ed.)

    Tut L2a –Q4


    For a drainage basin of 600 km2,
    isohyetals drawn for a storm gave the
    following data:
    Isohyetal interval (cm) 15-12 12-9 9-6 6-3 3-1
    Inter-isohyetal area (km2) 92 128 120 175 85

    Estimate the average depth of


    precipitation over the catchment.

    Tut L2a –Q5


    Figure below shows a catchment with
    seven raingauge stations inside it and three
    stations outside. The rainfall recorded by
    each of these stations are indicated in the
    figure. Draw the figure to an enlarged scale
    and calculate the mean precipitation by (a)
    Thiessen-mean (b) Isohyetal method and c)
    arithmetic-mean method.
    (Problem 2.10, Subramanya 4th Ed.)

    Tut L2a –Q6


    • A catchment area is approximately
    rectangular with ordinates (2,2), (2,20),
    (18,5), (20,2). One unit ordinate represents 1
    km. There are five rain gauges within the
    area with the recorded rainfall as in table
    below. Determine the mean rainfall using
    Thiessen Polygon Method and Arithmetic
    Mean Method.

    Rain Gauge Station Coordinate (km, km) Rainfall (mm)


    A 4, 15 150
    B 13, 18 200
    C 18, 5 250
    D 6, 4 450

    Tut L2a –Q5
    Figure 2.25 shows a catchment with seven
    raingauge stations inside it and three
    stations outside. The rainfall recorded by
    each of these stations are indicated in the
    figure. Draw the figure to an enlarged scale
    and calculate the mean precipitation by (a)
    Thiessen-mean (b) Isohyetal method and c)
    arithmetic-mean method.
