Question 1

What is the main purpose of the statistical test in network adequacy?

  • To predict future rainfall
  • To assess the required number of gauges
  • To evaluate historical data

💡 Hint: Focus on what 'network adequacy' means.

Question 2

True or False: If the actual number of rain gauges is greater than N, the network is inadequate.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A region has a coefficient of variation (Cv) of 0.5 and an allowable error of 5%. Calculate the required number of rain gauges and discuss if a network with 10 gauges is adequate.

💡 Hint: Remember to square Cv and divide by allowable error.

Question 2

If a network is found to be inadequate despite having sufficient gauges, what could be potential reasons?

💡 Hint: Think critically about where and how gauges collect data.
