Hydrology and Runoff

Subtopic: Hydrology and Runoff

Question Statement:

Between two adjacent isohyets of $100\text{ mm}$ and $80\text{ mm}$, the enclosed area is $A_1 = 40\text{ km}^2$. Average rainfall in this zone is $\frac{100 + 80}{2} = 90\text{ mm}$. Between $80\text{ mm}$ and $60\text{ mm}$ isohyets, the area is $A_2 = 60\text{ km}^2$ with average $70\text{ mm}$. Mean precipitation over the total $100\text{ km}^2$ area in mm is:

Answer Key:

78

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$\bar{P} = \frac{90(40) + 70(60)}{100} = \frac{3600 + 4200}{100} = \frac{7800}{100} = 78.0\text{ mm}$.
