CLOCA operates and maintains seven rain gauges positioned throughout the watershed.
 Map of Rain Guage Locations (PDF - 498 K)
Precipitation monitoring/measurements is a fairly simple process if you can obtain an accurate sample of the precipitation falling at the location of the gauge and have sufficient spatial coverage throughout the watershed to permit accurate estimates of the volume of water falling on a watershed. This information is used for comparison with runoff volumes and quantitative hydrologic forecasting.
CLOCA Stations
The stations operated by the Authority record and archive precipitation data via tipping buckets (generally measuring hourly amounts).
A.E.S. Stations
The Atmospheric Environment Service of Environment Canada operate continuous gauging sites within and around CLOCA watershed. The precipitation information collected is archived and available from Environment Canada.
