Answer:

A rain gauge (also known as an udometer, pluviometer, or an ombrometer) is an instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation over a set period of time

One of the most important uses for rain gauges is to monitor droughts in areas reliant on agriculture, as well as cities that don’t get much rain. For example, Los Angeles rain totals don’t amount to much, compared to the rest of the country. The city frequently experiences droughts, which can be devastating for both home gardens and commercial agriculture in the surrounding areas. So, local farmers use rain gauges to measure Los Angeles rainfall. The information helps them know whether or not they’ll have to dip into their reservoir or groundwater supply to help keep their crops alive, or prepare financially if one year’s crop might not be as healthy as a different batch from a wetter year.

Meteorologists also use rain gauges to measure Los Angeles precipitation, as well as precipitation in other cities dealing with droughts. In addition to helping them create a weather forecast, they can also warn people when L.A.'s rainfall has been particularly low. They might advise citizens to cut back on using excess water in order not to exacerbate the drought.
