A rain gauge is a meteorological instrument to
measure the precipitating rain in a given amount
of time per unit area.

 NORMAL RATIO METHOD
- is used when the normal annual precipitation at any of
the index station is differs from that of the interpolation
station by more than 10%.

 Given : Req’d :
P1 = 3.8 N1 = 39.5 Px = ?
P2 = 3.25 N2 = 43.1
P3 = 4.6 N3 = 49.5
P4 = 3.15 N4 = 46.2
Nx = 36.8
Solution:

Px = 3.06

DISTANCE POWER METHOD
The rainfall at a station is estimated as a
weighted average of the observed rainfall at the
neighboring stations.

Estimate rainfall at station A using the distance
power method.

Solution :

Rainfall at station A = 570.7 x 10^-3 / 5.01 x 10^-3

Rainfall at station A = 113.9 mm
