Question Three (3a) In a catchment area, four rain gauge stations namely Station A, B, C and D are installed for recording rainfall data. The normal annual rainfall of these four stations is 78, 63, 73.5 and 90 cm, respectively. The rain gauge station A does not have the annual rainfall observation for one year during total length of record, because of disorder of the rain gauge. Calculate the missing value of rainfall data of rain gauge station A, if the annual rainfall recorded at other three stations for that particular year was 88, 70.5 and 78 cm at B, C and D, respectively. Take the variation in normal rainfall data to be more than 15% at all the four rain gauge stations. (3b) State and explain the four types of geological formations of groundwater 1

In a catchment, there are four rain-gauge stations, P, Q, R, and S. Normal annual precipitation values at these stations are 780 mm, 850 mm, 920 mm and 980 mm respectively. In the year 2013, stations Q, R, and S, were operative but P was not. Using the normal ratio method, the precipitation at station P for the year 2013 has been established as 860 mm. If the observed precipitation at station Q and R for the year 2013 were 930 mm and 1010 mm, respectively; what was the observed precipitation (in mm) at station S for that year?
