There are several of these rain gauges on Dartmoor, finding them means a long moorland walk from the nearest road. They have been placed on Dartmoor by the Environmental Agency to monitor the rainfall on the moor.
The average annual rainfall on Dartmoor varies between 1206mm (3.9ft) to over 2133mm (6.9ft) on the highest parts of the moor (over 500m) and most of the main river systems on Dartmoor rise in the areas of highest rainfall.
