Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
