The Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge has been a corner stone of the RainWise product family since they took out the patent for it in 1976. The self-emptying tipping bucket design is now an industry standard as this simple, accurate and durable rain gauge can be mounted anywhere that rainfall needs to be recorded.
The RainWise Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge has an extra large 8” diameter collector that meets the National Weather Service specifications for statistical accuracy, and every tip of the bucket is hand calibrated to count one hundredth of an inch of rainfall.
The rain gauge includes a 60 ft. cabled connection to an indoor display that provides an economical solution to the annual collection and recording of rainfall data.

RainWise Weather Stations, Telemetry And Accessories
RainWise is one of the oldest players in the weather monitoring market, having been around since 1974. For reference, that’s only 4 years younger than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The largest dam removal in U.S. history, the deconstruction of the Klamath Dam is slated to begin this summer. The project includes four dams along the Klamath River with the first and smallest dam, Copco #2, scheduled for removal first. As each of the dams are torn down, scientists and consultants will keep a close eye on the state of the Klamath River downstream to assess the impact of undamming the river. 
 
Shawn Hinz, managing partner and environmental toxicologist with Gravity Consulting , has been involved with the Klamath Dam project for over a decade. Hinz was a part of these earlier steps, representing the academic stakeholder position as a graduate student sitting on a board of other stakeholders.

In regions with historically secure access to clean drinking water, few think about the work that goes into ensuring that the water they fill their cups with is safe. In reality, millions of dollars are invested in the infrastructure, equipment and teams involved in converting source water into drinking water. 
 
While all the work that goes into providing clean water often goes unnoticed, analysts like Michele Gilkerson, a water research analyst with the City of Columbus Division of Water, know exactly how much goes into securing safe water for millions of people. 
 
Gilkerson started with Battelle Memorial Institute in 1991 in their water ecology section. There, she saw how interesting source water monitoring could be, even though it isn’t often spotlighted in the environmental sector.
