For the basin shown in Fig. 1, the normal annual rainfall depths recorded and the isohyetals are 
given. Determine the optimum number of rain-gauge stations to be established in the basin if it is 
desired to limit the error in the mean value of rainfall to 10%. Indicate how you are going to 
distribute the additional rain-gauge stations required if any. What is the percentage accuracy of the 
existing network in the estimation of the average depth of rainfall over the basin? The area between 
the isohyetals are given below:
