4. The monthly rainfall data and the respective
altitudes for 10 rain gauges in a sub-basin of Mati
River are shown in Table below. Calculate the
average surface rainfall using the methods of
arithmetic mean, Thiessen and Isohyetal curves.
Moreover, an adjustment of the average surface
rainfall calculated by the Thiessen method with
respect to the average elevation of the basin should be
made. The area of the basin is equal to 2940 km², and
N
the average elevation of the basin is equal to 532 m.
