I can’t figure out anyone among us would need a rain gauge. For sure, I don’t need one in my daily life as I won’t care how much rain that I’ll get. Rain gauge is just a device that has almost disappeared in my memory, which I can hardly remember that back to school, we did build some low-tech rain gauges during our science classes to collect and measure the rain amount.
If you’re into farming business, you’ll definitely wanna predict how much rain your crop is gonna get in the following months. With a Digital Rain Gauge, you can easily measure the rain amount in the past few months to help you analyze and you’ll be sure how much you’ll need to feed your crop with water in order to keep them fresh.
The Digital Rain Gauge is an apparatus specifically designed for farmers living in the modern days. It’s equipped with an LCD display that that’s readable up to 10 feet away. The device is wireless in the sense that you don’t need to hook it up to any AC outlet as it runs on a single AA battery. It has an accuracy of measuring rain in a thousandth of an inch (0.001) of rainfall.
The device is self-emptying or more accurately you should say it doesn’t retain any single drop of rain. It simply lets the rain water flow through it, but it measures every single water droplet that passes through. It features a one-touch reset button which allows you to track annual, monthly or storm-by-storm rainfall totals.
