8. Explain the methods for the estimation of missing precipitation record(June2011, june2012)
9. During a month, a rain gauge went out of order while the other four gauges in the basin reported rainfalls of 110, 90, 120 and 115mm. If the normal annual rainfall for these four gauges are 115, 95, 125 and 120mm respectively and the normal rainfall for the broken gauge is 98cm, estimate the monthly rainfall at the broken gauge.(June2011,2012)
10. A Lake had a water surface elevation of 103.200m above datum at the beginning of certain month. In that month the lake reserved an average inflow of 6.0cumecs from surface runoff sources. In the same period outflow from the lake have an average value of 6.5 cumecs. Further in that month the lake received a rainfall of 145mm and evaporation from lake surface was estimated at 6.10 cm.Write the water budget equation for lake & calculate the water surface elevation of the lake at end of month. The average lake surface area may be taken as 5000 hectares. Assume that there is no contribution to or from ground water storage. .(June 2011,Jan2012)
11. A small catchment area of 150hectare received a rainfall of 10.5cm in 90 min due to a storm at a the outlet of catchment draining the catchment was dry before the storm & experienced a runoff lasting for 10 hrs with average discharge of 1.5 m3/s the stream was dry again after runoff event. (June 2011,june2012)

b) What is the ratio of runoff to precipitation.
