Exercise 1(50 points): For the watershed map and rainfall data provided, calculate the mean precipitation over the watershed by the 3 methods mentioned above.Hint: You will need to outline the watershed and rainfall stations on a 10 x10 grid paper. The scale of the basin map is 1:50000, thus make the scale of the grid paper 1:50000. This means that every cm on the grid paper represents 50000 cm (or 0.5 km) on the ground. Count the number of grid cells in your Thiessen polygons or in the area between isohyets. When you find out the number of cells, you can multiply that by the number of km2 that each cell represents. Since you are given a total watershed area of 32.7 km2 the totals for each polygon or isohyet should not be too far off that value.
