A 10-year flood typhoon occurs in the province of Batangas where six gauging stations were distributed namely: Gauging Station A, B, C, D, E, and F. The polygon areas of each corresponding gauging station is 10250hec, 61776.3 acres, 304km2, 281km2, 48800hec, and 116km2 respectively. From the said event, each station is having a rainfall depth reading of 8mm, 7mm, 10mm, 11mm, 9mm, 6mm respectively. Compute the average volume of rainfall in m3 from the average depth of rainfall using thiessen polygon from the data of gauging station A, B, C, and D.
