Monthly Rain Gauge Reports in Clearwater County
|
|
The Clearwater SWCD operates a Rainfall Monitoring Program throughout the county. Rain gauges are read and recorded daily by our citizen volunteers. At the end of the month our volunteers submit their monthly readings to the SWCD. The SWCD then submits those data records to the state-wide archives maintained by the State Climatology Office. This information is used for lake level and stream flow predictions, justifying crop losses, tracking drought conditions, predicting future weather conditions, and for research at many levels. This data has proven to be very helpful at the local level, and was used to make the chart below and the map to the right.
As of this last report we only have ten monitors throughout Clearwater County. It would be our hope to find volunteer monitors in each of our 18 townships throughout the county. We provide the official rain gauges and data sheets free of charge. If you are at all interested in becoming a volunteer of the Rainfall Monitoring Program please stop by our office or call 694-6845 for further information.
