Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given three rain gauge stations in a region with varied rainfall, if gauge A recorded 2 inches, B 3 inches, and C 1 inch of rainfall, use the Theissen Polygon Method to calculate the average rainfall if the polygon areas are 10, 20, and 30 acres respectively.

💡 Hint: Apply the area-weighting formula for rainfall.

Question 2

You are analyzing rainfall data across a mountainous region and need to create isohyets. Explain the procedure you would follow, considering spatial interpolation.

💡 Hint: Focus on interpolation techniques and logical contour placement.
