Place a Rain Gauge on the Farm Map
To get started, place a rain gauge on your Farm Map as a landmark. See 'Add Area, Infrastructure and Landmarks to your Farm Map' for more information on adding landmarks to the Farm Map.
Some quick steps for adding a rain gauge via the Mobile App:
From the Farm Map, select the Paddocks tab
Tap the green pencil icon, then tap the green plus icon
Select Landmark > Rain gauge

Note that we offer a water monitoring integration with Farmbot that automatically creates the rain gauge landmark on the AgriWebb map and populates rainfall data from the Farmbot rain gauges. Learn more here if you'd like to integrate your Farmbot sensors with AgriWebb.
