High Water Recorder
Posted: Mar 31, 2008 9:24 am
Does anybody know of a cheap and/or easy to build device for recording how deep water gets? The crawl I'd like to check has all kinds of stuff stuck in the ceiling, and I'd like to figure out how much rain is required to raise the water that high.
I guess I could jam a cup or something in the ceiling, and check to see if it's full after every rain event, but I wouldn't trust that at all. I was thinking maybe even something like a floater that can rise with the water but can't sink down. Maybe mounted to a camming device or something. Any ideas?
