Volunteer to study storms
Water is a big issue -sources of water and quality of water. The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network (CoCoRahs) needs volunteers of all ages to help scientists study storms. The only requirements are an enthusiasm for watching and reporting weather conditions and a desire to learn more about how weather can affect and impact our lives.
Quote from the CoCoRahs web site
You must have a standard 4" diameter rain gauge in a well sited location the nearest object - i.e. a tree - should be twice as far away from the gauge as that object is high. Wonder what a standard 4" diameter rain gauge looks like See these gauges at www.weatheryourway.com where you can also buy them at a great price!
