Meteorologists as well as home gardeners measure all kinds of weather. They use a rain gauge to measure rainfall and it can be any old container, similar to a bottle, which is left outside to collect the rain and get a measurement. Whether it’s raining cats and dogs, or only slightly sprinkling, an accurate gauge will collect rainfall and give a measurement, thus informing you of how much rain has fallen. It is a fun and easy project to make a simple garden rain gauge.

A simple rain gauge is a low-tech method of getting a rainfall measurement and all that is required is a container, such as a cylinder with a flat bottom and straight sides. While this type of container can help you gauge whether it was raining cats and dogs, it is very difficult to measure small amounts of precipitation this way.

A tipping bucket records precipitation on a rotating drum or electronically. A simple rain gauge has a funnel, but the funnel leads to two tiny buckets. The buckets are balanced similarly to a see-saw and each holds one-hundredth of an inch of water. When one bucket fills up, it tips down and is emptied as the other bucket fills with precipitation. Each tip of the bucket causes the rotating drum to record an increase of one-hundredth of an inch of rain. This method is not for when it’s raining cats and dogs.

Keeping a first aid kit or first aid kits by the swimming pool is not swimming safety. There are almost 4,000 fatal drownings in the United States every year. That’s more than 10 deaths by drowning or drowning related causes every day. More than one in four of those people were children younger than 14. More than four times that number had to be taken to the hospital for injuries related to swimming accidents. Even when people don’t die from drowning, they canreceive serious long term brain damage including learning disabilities, memory issues, and permanent vegetative state.

Though there are a lot of deaths due to drowning in this country every year, there are factors that make someone more likely to drown. Identifying these risk factors will help prevention. Supervision and barriers are the most important aspects. The youngest children who drown usually drown in bathtubs, toilets, or buckets. Leaving kids alone for five minutes can be dangerous. A barrier like fencing around the pool is the safest way to ensure that these supervised accidents do not occur. The older children and people get, the more likely they are to drown in natural water settings like lakes, rivers, ponds, or the ocean. Boating accidents are usually linked with drowning incidents, as improper or unlicensed use of water craft results in 3,500 boating accidents with injured boaters a year. Alcohol is a big influence as well. Seizures are the highest risk factor for drowning related incidents in bathtubs.

Prevention is easy. Watching kids at all times is the first thing to do. Swimming with a swimming buddy can be safe for everyone no matter what age they are, or make sure there is a life guard on duty wherever you are swimming. Avoiding alcohol before or during water related activities like swimming, water skiing, or boating and avoiding consumption of alcohol consumption while supervising young children can prevent many deaths related to drowning or water. Learning to swim, as obvious as it seems, can be a lifesaver, but it is not recommended as a primary means for drowning prevention for younger children. CPR can save someone’s life before the medics get there. Using floating toys instead of personal flotation devices is a bad idea because they are not designed to keep you safe on the water.
