| contents | As the frequency and severity of climate-related events such as droughts, floods, and water scarcity continue to escalate, accurate rainfall monitoring becomes increasingly critical. This paper covers various industry methods of measuring rainfall as well as our own ground pluviometer system. Our system consists of an inexpensive static rain gauge that can operate for approximately six to twelve months without maintenance. It utilizes resistive sensing technology accompanied by a microcontroller to measure the water level depth from the device vessel, recording rainfall at an hourly rate. This study also provides a side-by-side comparison of our pluviometer system with an industry rain gauge, the MeteoRain 200 Compact, from Barani Systems, with the differences in data being statistically insignificant. By prioritizing cost, sustainability, simplicity, ease of maintenance, and assembly, this research contributes to essential rainfall monitoring solutions, specifically for developing countries. |
