摘要：

Assessment of relative wetness in different months is a prerequisite for proper planning and utilization of available water resources of an area. Using monthly rainfall data of four different stations in India, the present paper shows that C-nu, the coefficient of variation, can be used as a measure of relative wetness/dryness. It was further observed that the amount of rainfall for a given probability level can be quickly computed in terms of percentile values. C-nu is exponentially related to P60, the sixtieth percentile of the amount of rainfall.
