THIESSEN POLYGON METHOD
From the given map of Bicol River Basin, construct the corresponding Thiessen Polygon using the
rainfall stations shown in red dots. You can also download the map from the internet.
Note:
Use technical pen (probably 0.2 or 0.10) in connecting rainfall stations ( dash lines).
Use colored ink (red or blue solid lines) in drawing perpendicular bisectors to the
connecting lines. Make sure the bisector lines are at midpoints and at 90 O from the
connecting lines.
Photocopy the map before plotting the thiessen polygon. The thiessen polygon must
be overlayed/drawn directly to the given map. Plain paper with traced boundaries and
points will not be accepted.
Incorrect thiessen polygon is equivalent to 60 % grade for Assignment # 1.
