👉 Waterages are a type of data that is used in hydrology and meteorology to quantify the amount of precipitation or snowfall falling over a particular area. They are typically recorded in units such as inches, feet, meters, etc., but can also be expressed as millimeters, centimeters, or whatever other unit is commonly used for measuring water levels. Waterages are critical because they help in predicting and understanding how much rain falls at any given time, which is crucial for planning irrigation systems,
