Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analyze a watershed of 150 square kilometers with data points showing rainfall variability across the region. Discuss how you would apply the Theissen Method and identify areas where it might fail.
💡 Hint: Focus on how uneven spacing of rain gauges could influence results.
Consider a mountainous area with five rain gauge stations recording highly variable rainfall. Illustrate how you would apply the Isohyetal Method for precise estimation and identify the expected outcomes.
💡 Hint: Consider the importance of placing the isohyets based on recorded rainfall closely.
