1   Homework: The rational method toolbox using Kriging

We want to refactor the Rational Method toolbox because its current raster output has discontinuous runoff discharges. Use the Kriging tool instead of Thiessen polygons to create the rainfall intensity raster to remove discontinuity in the output raster. Please use the linear semivariogram model with the default properties for lagSize, majorRange, partialSill, and nugget. That is, you don’t have to specify these properties as long as you set the semivariogramType to LINEAR.

Remember, the Kriging tool directly creates a surface raster!
