cm, 67.59 cm, 96.88 cm, and 66.01 cm respectively. In the year 2023, station D was
inoperative and stations A, B, and C recorded precipitations of 94.11 cm, 55.23 cm, and 63.89
cm respectively. Estimate the rainfall at station D. (5 points)
2. The normal annual rainfall at stations A, B, C, and D in a given catchment basin are 70.97
cm, 73.1 cm, 76.28 cm, and 82.01 cm respectively. In the year 2023, station D was inoperative
and stations A, B, and C recorded precipitations of 71.21 cm, 72.23 cm, and 79.89 cm
respectively. Estimate the rainfall at station D. (5 points)
3. Solve for the precipitation with the following methods, Arithmetic, Isohyetal, Distance Weight,
Thiessen Polygon. (10 points each)
