Rainfall Data Analysis and Adjustment

The document describes three rainfall analysis exercises: 1. Adjusting rainfall data from 2004-2006 for an inconsistently located gauge using surrounding gauges. 2. Calculating average rainfall using arithmetic mean and Thiessen polygon methods from 5 stations. 3. Estimating rainfall at a missing station using the quadrant method from surrounding stations' data.

1. Annual rainfall depth data for three consistent gauges A, B and C and with one inconsistent gauge D.
Gauge D was relocated permanently at the end of 2006. Analyse and adjust the rainfall data for gauge
D for the period of 2004-2006 according to the rainfall characteristics at the new location.

3. Stations P, Q, R, S, T and U are the nearest gauge stations of station A that was out of operation.
Precipitation amounts for P, Q, R, S, T and U are 40, 45, 37.5, 50, 47.5 and 42.5 mm. Calculate the
rainfall depth at station A with coordinates (0,0) using the quadrant method.
