Applications of rain monitoring

There are various applications in which rain monitoring plays a role. First of all water management, of course: one or more rain gauges are indispensable in water management systems. Rain gauges can also help in agriculture. Insight into the amount of precipitation makes it possible to plan irrigation, sowing and harvesting more efficiently. Rain gauges are also used in programmes that monitor the environment, in order to gain insight into precipitation patterns and their impact on our ecosystem. Finally, rain monitoring is regularly used in climate change research.
