Types of Rainfall Measuring Devices

1. Simple Type

The first rainfall gauge is a simple type. This tool can be a measuring container that is placed in a wide place when it rains. The measuring container will be filled with rain water and the rainfall will be known within 1 hour in millimeters. The advantage of a simple rainfall gauge is that it doesn't need a lot of tools and can see the measurement results directly. However, its weakness is inaccurate because the amount of rainfall is uncertain and cannot observe changes in rainfall.

2. Digital

As the name implies, a digital rainfall gauge is a rainfall gauge that uses digital technology for its measurement. This tool works automatically with a set period of time and data that has been obtained from measurements can be seen directly through the display and taken through external devices such as USB and Bluetooth. The advantage of a digital rainfall gauge is its automatic, practical measurement system and can monitor changes in rainfall through an application or display on the device. In addition, digital rainfall gauges do not need to carry out difficult installations, because they can be used immediately. However, the disadvantage is that the price is more expensive compared to the simple type.
