Question
A catchment is idealized as a 25 km × 25 km
square. It has five rain gauges, one at each corner
and one at the centre, as shown in the figure.

G3
During a month the precipitation at these gauges
is measured as G₁ = 300 mm. G₂ = 285 mm, G₂
= 272 mm, G₂ = 290 mm and G5 = 288 mm. The
average precipitation (in mm up to one decimal
place) over the catchment during this month by
using the Thiessen polygon method is
