Abstract
Rainfall data is one component that is widely used in research related to hydrology. However, the current source of rainfall data is sometimes incomplete. for that it is needed a rain gauge that is able to provide realtime measurements at certain locations. this tool was developed using the AquaPlumb water level sensor. testing is done by measuring the water level in a 2-inch pipe. The sensor is able to detect changes in surface height with a coefficient of determination of more than 98%.
