For any type of hydro meteorological studies it Is imperative that an optimum design of network of raingauge stations is determined taking into consideration various factors influencing specific purpose for which such designs are envisaged. In the present paper an attempt has been made to determine the relative accuracy of the precipitation network designed for estimation of normal areal precipitation in comparison to the standard prescribed by World Meteorological Orgamsatlon. It is observed that III the present case the proposed network is fairly accurate for the purpose for which it has been designed.
