Statement

: Stations were instrumented with CM1016 manual plastic rain gauges (climemet.com) - funnel diameter of 100mm and internal measuring cylinder calibrated at 0.5mm, capacity 25mm. External cylinder maximum capacity 225mm. The gauges are mounted on posts with collector rim at 0.7m above ground level. Instruments were installed in collaboration with Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) under Ministry of Water, Environment and Natural Resources. Field Monitors were recruited and trained to take readings at 9:00 am daily by both Rural Focus Ltd and KMD and record data in KMD rainfall data format. Rainfall record sheet were collected monthly and quarterly analysed for quality (homogeneity and consistency based on Double Mass Curve techniques and visual inspection compared to nearby stations. Missing data is denoted with -99. A clear distinction is made between day of record and day of rain.
