The watershed of a stream has five rain gauge stations inside the basin. When Thiessen polygons were constructed, three more stations lying outside the watershed were found to have weightages. The details of Thiessen polygons surroundings each rain gauge and the recordings of the rain gauges in the month of July 2012 are given below: Rain gauge station A B C D E F G H Thiessen Polygon area (km2 ) 720 1380 1440 1040 900 2220 419 1456 Recorded rainfall in mm during July 2012 135 143 173 128 102 115 99 110 Stations B, E and H are outside the watershed. Determine the average depth of rainfall on the watershed in July 2012 by (i) arithmetic mean method, and (ii) Thiessen mean method.
