 A rain gauge is a device used to measure the amount of precipitation and is usually installed in weather stations, farmlands, water projects, etc. It serves to record the amount of precipitation for the purposes of monitoring climate change, irrigation management, flood warning and other needs.

The principle of a rain gauge is usually to collect rainwater through a container and then convert the amount of rainwater collected into standard units, such as millimeters or inches, to express the amount of precipitation. Some common types of rain gauges are circular funnel rain gauges, inclined rain gauges and weighing rain gauges.

Inclined rain gauges, on the other hand, utilize an inclined plane that directs rainwater into a container, which is marked with a scale to measure the amount of precipitation. Weighing rain gauges, on the other hand, utilize the weight of rainwater to measure precipitation, usually using a load cell to record changes in weight.

Rain gauges are widely used in meteorological observation, water resource management, agricultural production and other fields, and are one of the most important tools for monitoring precipitation.
