Popis: Available accurate and reliable precipitation data are so important in water resources management and planning. In this study,to determine the best method of regional precipitation estimate in Khuzestan province, estimated daily precipitation data from the best interpolation method and APHRODIT Daily Grid Precipitation data during the 2000-2007 years were compared with 44 meteorological stations. Four interpolation methods i.e. Inverse Distance Weighted, Ordinary Kriging, Cokriging, and Regression Kriging were assessed to determine the most appropriate interpolation method for daily precipitation.For the variography analysis in Kriging models, five variogram models including spherical, exponential, linear, linear to sill and Gaussian fitted on the precipitation data. Near neighbor method was used to compare APHRODIT Daily Precipitation data with station recorded data. Cross validation technique was employed to evaluate the interpolation methods and the most appropriate method was determined based on Root Mean Square Error,Mean Bias Error, Mean Absolute Error indices and regression analysis. The result of error evaluation of interpolation methods showed that regression Kriging method has the highest accurate to interpolation of daily precipitation data in Khuzestan province. Therefore, regression-based interpolation methods which using covariates would be improved precipitation evaluate accurate in the area. Comparison of error indices and regression analysis of regression Kriging interpolation method and estimate of APHRODITE show that on most days the accurately estimate of regression Kriging is higher than the APHRODITE. Therefore to understanding of spatial distribution and estimate of daily precipitation data in Khuzestan Province, Regression Kriging interpolation method is more accurate than available APHRODITE data
