In a catchment, there are four rain-gauge stations, P, Q, R, and S. Normal annual precipitation values at these stations are 780 mm, 850 mm, 920 mm and 980 mm respectively. In the year 2013, stations Q, R, and S, were operative but P was not. Using the normal ratio method, the precipitation at station P for the year 2013 has been established as 860 mm. If the observed precipitation at station Q and R for the year 2013 were 930 mm and 1010 mm, respectively; what was the observed precipitation (in mm) at station S for that year?

Transcribed Image Text:In a catchment, there are four rain-gauge stations, P, Q, R, and S. Normal annual
precipitation values at these stations are 780 mm, 850 mm, 920 mm and 980 mm
respectively. In the year 2013, stations Q, R, and S, were operative but P was not.
Using the normal ratio method, the precipitation at station P for the year 2013 has
been established as 860 mm. If the observed precipitation at station Q and R for
the year 2013 were 930 mm and 1010 mm, respectively; what was the observed
precipitation (in mm) at station S for that year?
