EXERCISE NO. 3
Precipitation
Situation No. 1: One of four monthly-read rain gauges on a catchment area develops a fault in a
month when the other three gauges record respectively 37, 43 and 51 mm. If the average annual
precipitation amounts of these three gauges are 726, 752 and 840 mm respectively and of the
broken gauge 694 mm, estimate the missing monthly precipitation at the latter.

Situation No. 2: A catchment with an area A = 85 km^2, has four rainfall gauges (P1 – P4) according
to the figure. Use the rainfall data in the table to determine the areal rainfall over the catchment.
Use the arithmetic averaging method to calculate areal rainfall.
