ANALYSIS OF ESTIMATED RAINFALL DATA USING SPATIAL INTERPOLATION. Preethi Raj GEOG 5650 (Environmental Applications of GIS)
2
Environmental Application of GIS Spring 06 2 INTRODUCTION Current research in Hydrology emphasizes on ability to forecast hydrologic parameters. Precipitation Infiltration Evapo-transipiration Stream flow Hydrologic Cycle
3
Environmental Application of GIS Spring 06 3 PROBLEMS Precipitation plays an important role in Hydrologic cycle. Need for precipitation data to have a better understanding of Hydrologic cycle. Due to practical difficulties not possible to have rain gauges all over the world. Need for an alternative to estimate precipitation data.

Environmental Application of GIS Spring 06 12 RESULTS Interpolation Method Root-Mean-Square Kriging0.3734 IDW- Power 20.3652 Optimize power value(2.5595) 0.3602 IDW- Power 30.3619 IDW- Power 40.3704 IDW- Power 50.3784
13
Environmental Application of GIS Spring 06 13 CONCLUSIONS Values obtained using Kriging, IDW- Power 2 & 3 gives similar values and closer to actual precipitation value. Difference in values obtained using IDW – Power 5 is high.
