Cruise on over to the Your Water Colorado Blog for Noah Newman’s post about the Colorado Climate Center’s ongoing effort to get a rain gauge in every classroom. Here’s an excerpt:
Besides the goal of a high density network of quality precipitation data, CoCoRaHS also has a goal of education and outreach. The most recent effort has been to train teachers and equip schools with rain gauges, having the students collect and report the data. The kick-off for ‘CoCoRaHS for Schools’ has been successful in large part due to the statewide campaign hosted by the Colorado Foundation for Water Education called ‘Colorado Water 2012′ (http://water2012.org/).
