OBJECTIVE
After completing this practical exercise, you should be able to measure rainfall from
non-recording and recording rain gauges.

INTRODUCTION
Rainfall is an important natural resource which provides water for different usages such
as public health, industry and agriculture. Accurate measurement of rainfall helps in
conserving and managing water resources efficiently. Harvesting, conservation and
utilization of rainwater holds the key for undertaking agriculture and other allied
activities in order to achieve socio-economic development of watersheds. Rainfall can
be measured by non-recording and recording type (automatic) rain gauges. Non-
recording rain gauges record periodic readings of the accumulated rainfall (24
hours). Large capacity rain gauges are used for measuring rainfall only a few times, at
the remote sites. Recording type rain gauges continuously record rainfall and thus rainfall
depth can be obtained for any period. It enables to determine rainfall characteristics
such as intensity, frequency, duration and amount of rainfall influencing rate and amount
of runoff.

 Procedure
 Non-Recording Rain Gauge
The rainwater is received in a plastic bottle covered with funnel. The depth of rainfall
received in 24 hours is measured by glass cylinder provided by the manufacturer. The
rainfall is measured at 8 am.
Precaution:
 Rain gauge should be kept on a hard-compact platform and height of rim
be kept 30 cm above the ground level;
 Ensure that rain gauge is leakproof
 Measuring cylinder should be kept clean and leaves and other foreign
particles should have been removed from the receiver.

 Recording Rain Gauge

It consists of a cylinder with a funnel top, circular inner brass tube, recording
mechanism of a clock driven drum carrying the record sheet on which a pen
draws the graph of rainfall against time. The clock mechanism completes one
rotation in 24 hours. The X-axis of the chart (graph) is the rainfall (mm) with
accuracy of 1 mm and Y-axis represents time. The recording sheet is replaced
once in 24 hours. The recording pen is fixed on a rod connected to a float in the
inner cylinder. As the rainwater accumulates in the cylinder, the float rises along
with the pan which records the rainfall. When the cylinder is full, the connection
is established with the inner cylinder and siphon tube and the entire water gets
drained and pen drops to the zero position. The depth of rainfall recorded on the
graph sheet is read for every half an hour to determine the variation in rainfall
intensity for different durations of the storms.

Recording Rain Gauge

Precaution
 Change the chart every day between 8.30 - 9.00 am;
 Ensure that there is sufficient ink in the pen; and
 Instrument should be kept clean and free from leaves and other foreign
particles.

7) Determine the capacity of Farm Pond

Calculate the capacity of a pond given the area enclosed by different contours at
the site as follows
S. No. Contour Value (m) Area Enclosed (m2)
1 250 220
2 251 290
3 252 340
4 253 370
5 254 480
6 255 550
7 256 620

Contour Interval: 1 m
Solution:
Using Trapezoidal Formula,
H
V= [A + An + 2 (A2 + A3 + ⋯ + An−1)
2 1
1
V= [220 + 620 + 2 (290 + 340 + 370 + 480 + 550)

V = 2450 m2
Using Simpson’s Formula,
H
V= (Sum of the area of the first and last countours
3
+ 2(Sum of the area of the remaning ODD countours)
+ 4 (Sum of the area of the remaning EVEN countours)
