Question

A small watershed has four rain gauging stations. During a particular
storm event, these four rain gauging stations W, X, Y and Z recorded 28.4mm,
24.9mm, 31.6mm and 29.8mm of precipitations respectively. As shown in the
figure, segment formed by connecting stations W & Z is the perpendicular
bisector of the segment formed from stations X & Y and vice versa. Determine
the areal average precipitation for this watershed using the (i) Thiessen Polygon Method
