INTRODUCTION
Current research in Hydrology emphasizes on ability to forecast hydrologic parameters.

PROBLEMS
Precipitation plays an important role in Hydrologic cycle.
Need for precipitation data to have a better understanding of Hydrologic cycle.
Due to practical difficulties not possible to have rain gauges all over the world.
Need for an alternative to estimate precipitation data.
