Isohyets




Isohyets are contour lines joining points of equal precipitation on a map. This Isohyet map is showing the gulf coasts' estimated rainfall from Hurricane Georges. Rainfall in Florida is very important to measure and observe, because it is such a low lying flatland state, a certain large amount of rainfall could be devasting and flood many coastal areas. That is why rainfall is an i mportant mapping procedure, especially in Florida.
