Q1- a- Answer :
1. Precipitation caused by lifting of an air mass due to the pressure difference, is called
A- Cyclonic precipitation B- Convective precipitation C- Orographic precipitation D-
None of these
2. Non-recording rain gauges
A- Collect the rain whose volume is measured by means of graduated pan.
B- Collect the rain which is directly measured by means of graduated cylinders in cm of water depth
C- Are generally used in hilly terrain D- Are cylindrical in shape
3. A hyetograph is a graphical representation of
A- Rainfall intensity and time B- Rainfall depth and time
C- Discharge and time D- Cumulative rainfall and time
4. The respective storm totals at three surrounding stations A, B and C are 110, 90 and
70 mm. If the normal annual precipitation amounts at stations X, A, B and C are
respectively 1000, 1100, 1200 and 1250 mm, the estimated storm precipitation at X is
A- 75 mm B- 77 mm C- 79 mm D- 81 mm
5. The total depth of rainfall and intensity of rainfall at any instant of time can be
found directly from:
A- rainfall hyetograph B- rainfall mass curve C-rain gauge network D-Non of these

6 . Which of the following is not an example of precipitation

A. Vapour. B. Rain C. Snow D.Hail

Q2- The rainfall recorded at the various rain gauge stations are as follows. Determine the
average rainfall over the catchment?

Rain gauge 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
station
number
Precipitation 35 38 41 45 47 50 52 55
in mm

Q3- A catchment has six rain gage . the annual recorded by the gage are as flow :

Rain gauge 1 2 3 4 5 6
station number

Rainfall (cm) 82.6 102.9 180.3 110.3 98.8 136.7

For a 10% error in the estimation of the mean rainfall , calculate the optimum number of
the station in the catchment?

Q4- One of four monthly reading gages on catchment area develops a fault in a month when
the other three gages record respectively ( 122 , 89 , 107 mm ) in the average annual
precipitation for the three gages are ( 935 , 1120 , 979 ) mm respectively and ( 1200 ) mm
of the broken gage . by normal ratio method. Estimate the missing monthly precipitation at
later station ?.

Q5- A rain gauge recorded the accumulated rainfall during the storm draw the mass rainfall
curve and hyetograph

Time (AM) 8:0 8:05 8:10 8:15 8:20 8:25 8:30

Accumulated

Rainfall (mm)

Q6- The a reservoir with the surface area 1200 km2 received the average daily discharge 27
m3/sec and drain the average daily discharge to river 30 m3/sec . the annual
precipitation50cm .the estimation of the average loss du Evaporation 12 m3/sec. Estimate
the change water level after one year. (groundwater flow negligible).
