When a city is facing inflow and infiltration issues, expensive sewer system rehabilitation decisions often involve the use of rainfall data. In those cases, it’s important you’re doing everything you can to ensure the accuracy of that data.
Rainfall-derived I&I prediction can be greatly obstructed by imprecise precipitation data, often due to improper rain gauge density, inadequate gauge siting, equipment malfunction or data collection errors. By choosing the right rain gauge equipment, maintaining it per manufacturer standards, spacing gauges appropriately and establishing proper siting, you’re giving yourself the best possible chance of precise data.Tipping-bucket accuracyThe most commonly used technology to measure rainfall
