2. To derive the relation between different physical quantities involved in a physical phenomenon.
3. To change from one system of units to another.

Answer:
Hydrological quantities
basic measurements (e.g. velocity of water in a stream, mass of water in a raingage)
derived quantities (discharge in a stream)
Units and dimensions
precipitation has the dimension length [L] and the unit cm or mm or inch
many quantities have a dimension that is some combination of these fundamental dimensions
in equations, the dimensions on both sides have to match
the most common system of units employed today is the SI (System International d'Unites)

Significant figures and precision
no more digits than justified by the precision of a measurement should be presented
derived quantities should reflect the number of significant digits of the least relatively precise number involved in the calculation
