As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen climate monitoring and water management, the Auroinnovation Centrehas successfully installed rain gauges in Kalapet and Thonnamatham. These installations mark the first steps in a broader plan to set up a network of 10 rain gauges throughout Pondicherry.
Rain gauges are simple yet essential tools used to measure the amount of rainfall in a specific location over a given period. By collecting accurate rainfall data, these gauges help in understanding local climate patterns, managing water resources, and planning for sustainable agricultural and urban development.
Through this initiative, the Auroinnovation Centre aims to empower communities, researchers, and policymakers with reliable, real-time data to make informed decisions related to water conservation, groundwater recharge, and climate resilience.
With the installation of all 10 gauges, Pondicherry will have a comprehensive rainfall monitoring network, enabling better analysis of rainfall distribution and supporting initiatives in environmental sustainability and climate education.
