Isohyets

Isohyets are contour lines that show equal amounts of rainfall. These maps are not only useful in the field of meteorology but are also very helpful in agriculture. Using the statistical method based on these maps farmers can better understand when the appropriate times to grow their crops. Also these maps help provide insight on how rain effects fluvial systems. I chose the map below because it shows the drastic change in rainfall amounts.
