9781528424110: Reciprocal Distance Squared Method

Synopsis

This book introduces a computer technique called Reciprocal Distance Squared (RDS) to determine watershed rainfall, a key factor in hydrologic analyses. The technique uses a grid system to estimate rainfall at points where measurements aren't taken. It sums the products of measured rainfall and the reciprocal of the squared distance between a point and nearby rain gauges. These rainfall estimates can then be used to calculate the average areal rainfall of a watershed. The book also presents programs to calculate Thiessen weights and to draw isohyetal maps, which are used to depict the spatial distribution of rainfall. The significance of the book's insights is that they provide a precise, computer-oriented way to estimate rainfall, which is critical for accurate hydrologic and water resource modeling.
