Is there not a better way of measuring rainfall? Rather than a
mechanical device like a tipping bucket that interferes with what is
being measured, why not something comparitively non-intrusive? I'm
thinking of some kind of device like a laser maybe. Surely a tipping
bucket isn't the pinnacle of water measurement technology?
