Examples –2 Analysis of Precipitation

1. P1 precipitation gage has recorded the reading below during a storm. Accordingly
a) Draw the curve which shows the variation of total precipitation with
respect to time.
b) Draw the curve showing the variation of precipitation intensity with
respect to time (hyetograph).

Time 02:16 02:20 02:22 02:25 02:27 02:30 02:32


Total Precipitation (mm) 0,5 3,0 8.0 13.0 18.0 23.0 25.5

2. The precipitation gage has recorded the reading below between 1951-68 years.
a) Check the number of 8 precipitation gage with double mass curve.
b) Homogenize the measurements of 8 precipitation before that date.

The curve showing the variation of precipitation intensity with time, is called hyetograph.
 Double Mass Curve Method: The annual precipitation of that gage is plotted on one
axis, and the average annual precipitation of all the other gages in that region is plotted
on the other axis, moving backwards in time and adding the annual precipitation of
each year cumulatively.
 To homogenize the measurements before that date, they are multiplied by the ratio of
the slopes of the lines before and after that date.
