Precipitation:
1. A catchment has seven raingauge stations. In a year, the annual
rainfalls in cm recorded by the gauges are as follows: 130, 142.1,
118.2, 108.5, 165.2, 102.1 and 146.9. For 5% error in the
estimation of the mean rainfall, calculate the minimum number of
additional stations required to be established in the catchment.
2. The precipitation for a certain basin has been recorded for several
years at 5 gauges. The data at one of the gauges (site Y) is
suspected to be inconsistent relative to that at the other four
sites. The table below shows data for Y and the average data for
the other four sites (called X). (a) Analyze the consistency of the
data at Y by the double mass method. (b) Adjust the data of the
earlier years at Y (so that they are consistent with those of recent
years).
