The Double mass curve technique is adopted to

Detailed Solution: Question 1

If the conditions relevant to the recording of a raingauge station have undergone a significant change during the period of record, inconsistency would arise in the rainfall data of that station. The checking for inconsistency of record is done by the double mass curve technique. This technique is based on the principal that when each recorded data comes from the same parent population, they are consistent.

The probable maximum depth of precipitation over a catchment is given by the relation PMP =

Detailed Solution: Question 4

The Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is defined as the greatest or extreme rainfall for a given duration that is physically possible over a station or basin. Statistical studies indicate that PMP can be estimated as,

 mean of annual maximum rainfall series, σ = standard deviation of the series and K = a frequency factor which depends upon the statistical distribution of the series, number of years of record and the return period.
