Meet the Rain Gauge

Robust Design | 0.2mm Resolution | Wireless Nature | Make it Rain

Obscape’s Rain Gauge delivers real-time rainfall measurements. Its industry-standard rain collector is connected to Obscape’s Power and Telemetry Module to create a completely wireless real-time rain gauge.The instrument’s robust design and wireless nature make it conveniently applicable at any location, both in urban and remote environments. A network of Rain Gauges will yield valuable insights into the dynamics of your water system.

Rainfall is a key process in catchment management. It is an important source of water in natural water systems, but can also trigger flooding disasters. Rainfall intensity can vary strongly over time and at different locations in the water system. In order to determine the input of water into the system and to stay informed in disaster situations, a network of rain gauges is a basic necessity for any catchment monitoring programme. Obscape’s Rain Gauge is the perfect instrument to provide you with the latest rainfall data at any location in the catchment area.
