1. Empty cylindrical cans can be used to measure rainfall at any point in a given area. Assuming you used a 25 cm diameter receiving can to catch rainfall in your locality and poured the collected amount into another can, what should be the diameter of the measuring can (in cm) so that rainfall amount to be recorded is comparable to the amount collected using the standard rain gauge? If 5mm of rain was collected in the receiving can, how much will be its equivalent depth in the measuring can? 2. On the following days, the following observations were taken: TIME HOOKGAUGE READINGS 8" STD. RAINGAUGE READINGS (mm) (mm) 60.5 Mar 1 8 AM 0.0 2 PM 48.2 6.5 Mar 2 8 AM 53.6 1 2 PM 59.1 Mar 3 8 AM 53 5.2 What is the daily rainfall (in mm) on March 2? b. What is the daily pan evaporation (in mm) on March 2?

Precipitation over a large area is not uniform, due to a climatic change as a result of pollution and other external factors. This has made it impossible to have an accurate measurement for rainfall intensity. Suggest a more suitable approach for the measurement of precipitation that will convince a civil engineer to adopt your approach for the measurement of flow depth?
