Problem

Rain gage data are given in Table (a) for three rain gages within the watershed. Weight the gage data over the five subareas according to the weighting values given in Table (b) (see Example 1-3 in Chapter 1). Set up the meteorological model for subareas 1 through 5 in the watershed to reference this storm’s rainfall data. For example, subbasin 2 receives 1/3 of gage 100R rainfall and 2/3 of gage 200R rainfall. Enter the actual rain gage data and weights into HEC-HMS.
