Volunteer
Rain Gauge Network CoCoRaHS is an acronym for the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network. CoCoRaHS is a unique, non-profit, community-based network of volunteers working together to measure and map precipitation (rain, hail and snow). Volunteers take measurements of precipitation any time a rain, hail or snow storm crosses your area. Learn more about this great program at https://www.cocorahs.org Want to be involved? Currently, the District has a limited number of rain gauges suitable for CoCoRaHS reporting, available for $25.00. Contact the District office at 785-843-4260 for more information. |
