‫ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ‬
Question 1:
Choose the correct answer:
(1) Symon's rain gauge is:
(a) Tipping-bucket gauge (b) Weighing type gauge (c) Float recording gauge (d) Non-recording gauge.
(2) ………….. is considered one type of automatic rainfall gauges.
(a) All the answers are correct (b) Dalton’s (c) Symon’s (d) Tipping Bucket
(3) The used units for hydrologic cycle elements are:
Equivalent length (b) Volume (c) Discharge (d) All these answers are true

Question 2:
True or False:
(1) Tipping Bucket is considered one type of automatic rainfall gauges.
(2) Acre is the unit which measures Length.
(3) Symon's rain gauge is Non-recording gauge.
(4) Hydrological losses contain Evaporation, Evapotranspiration and Infiltration.

Question 3:
During agiven year, the following hydrologic data were collected for 2500 𝐾𝑚2 basin, total precipitation 620
mm, total combined loss due to evaporation and transpiration 320 mm, estimated ground water outflow 100
mm, and mean surface runoff 150 mm. what is the change in volume of water during the year?
Question 4:
A catchment area with 5000 km2. In one month, the depth of precipitation is 125 mm, evapotranspiration is 24
mm and the increase in water in the catchment is 0.3*109 m3/month and the infiltration rate is 0.1*109
m3/month. It is required to calculate:
1. Volume of Runoff
2. Coefficient of Runoff.
Question 5:
The rain gauge station X was inoperative for a part of a month during which a storm occurred. The storm
rainfall recorded at the three surrounding stations A, B, C was 105 mm, 88 mm and 125 mm, respectively. If
the average annual rainfalls of the stations A, B, C and X are 1100, 925, 1250 and 880 mm respectively,
estimate the storm rain fall of station X.

Precipitation (mm) 30.8 33.4 34.6 32.6 24.6

Question 7:
A small urban watershed has four rainfall gauges as located in the figure. Total rainfall recorded at each
gauge during astorm event is listef. Compute the mean areal rainfall for this storm using: (a) Arithmetic
average and (b): Thiessen method.

Gauge Rainfall (cm)
