Precipitation
Precipitation is any form of water that falls to the Earth's surface. Different forms of precipitation include rain, snow, sleet, hail and drizzle.

How Precipitation Is Measured Standard rain guage
Weighing precipitation gauge
Tipping bucket rain gauge
Optical rain gauge
Weather station
Radar

Standard Rain Guage
Often have a funnel opening into a cylinder guage
Come in a variety of shapes and sizes
Calculate the rainfall (in mm) by dividing the volume of water collected by the area of the opening of the cup.

Placement of Rain Gauges
Gauges are affected by wind pattern, trees and the gauge itself, therefore it is important to have the gauge located and positioned properly.
1m above ground level is standard.
2 to 4 times the distance away from an isolated object (such as a tree or building).
![Page 8: MEASUREMENTS OF HYDROLOGICAL VARIABLES](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052310/551945734a795911038b462c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

The Rain Gauge
The cross-sectional of measuring tube is
1/10 the cross-sectional area of the
outer tube.
So, 10 mm of rain falling into the outer tube lookslike it fills the measuring tube 10 cm high.
Measurement is 10 mm!

Evaporation
Evaporation is the process by which water is converted from its liquid form to its vapor form and thus transferred from land and water masses to the atmosphere.
OR
Process by which water is changed from the liquid or solid state into the gaseous state through the transfer of heat energy (ASCE, 1949).
![Page 12: MEASUREMENTS OF HYDROLOGICAL VARIABLES](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052310/551945734a795911038b462c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Methods For Estimating Evaporation
Water budget methods
Energy budget methods
Mass transfer techniques (e.g., Meyer, Thornthwaile-Holzman)
Combination of energy budget and mass transfer methods (e.g.,Penman)

Energy Budget Method
Characteristics:
Most accurate method (evaporation is a function of the energy state of the water system).
Difficult to evaluate all terms.
Energy balance equation has to be simplified.
Empirical formulas are used.

Transpiration is affected by plant physiology and environmental factors, such as:
Type of vegetation
Stage and growth of plants
Soil conditions (type and moisture)
Climate and weather
![Page 19: MEASUREMENTS OF HYDROLOGICAL VARIABLES](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052310/551945734a795911038b462c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
