| | Summary: |
| | Data regarding the quantity and the intensity of rainfall is needed for the
purposes of the hydrotechnical practice. The Republic Hydrometeorological Service of
Serbia is the organization responsible for measurement and collecting of rainfall data.
Unfortunately, this data is sometimes not available at desired time frames or in required
locations, therefore it is necessary to temporarily use a self-maid or commercial rain
gauge. There are an inexpensive tipping bucket rain gauges on the market but with
questionable measuring accuracy. In this paper the self-constructed cheap weighing rain
gauge has been presented. Its characteristics and specification are analyzed, as well as
its areas of use in the hydrotechnical practice. Finally, the comparison of measuring
results obtained using this rain gauge and professional, more expensive devices is given. |
