Rainfall is one of the most important stages of the water resource cycle, and therefore a criticlal segment of setting up a smart water network. Rainfall identification of a specific geographic area or ecosystem is essential to management of water resources such as rivers and reservoirs, irrigation and weather forecasting.
There are larger scale impacts as well to monitoring the Earth’s rainfall, such as contribution to scientific understanding of the hydrologic cycle, global water balance and atmospheric modeling. StarIIoT Gateway Precipitation Kits have a small footprint, minimal environmental visual impact, and are an autonomous, robust, easy to install solution for setting up continuous rainfall data collection stations in remote locations.
