Aprovided by the Rainfall Monitoring Stations map of
Haryana (Figure 50). These stations are essential for tracking
and evaluating rainfall patterns, as well as for supplying vital
information for weather forecasting, agricultural planning, and
general meteorological evaluations.
The map prominently features Agrometeorological stations
situated at key locations, including Gurgaon, Karnal,
Kurukshetra, Mahendergarh, Sonipat, and Yamunanagar.
These stations serve as vital nodes for collecting data specifically
tailored to the agricultural context, aiding farmers and
policymakers in making informed decisions related to crop
management and water resource utilization. In addition to the
Agrometeorological stations, the map showcases the extensive
network of Automatic Rain Gauge (ARG) stations and
Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) spread across Haryana. A
total of 32 ARG stations and 24 AWS stations are strategically
located to ensure comprehensive coverage of the state. The ARG
stations provide real-time data on precipitation, enabling
accurate rainfall monitoring, while the AWS stations contribute
to broader meteorological observations, including temperature,
humidity, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure.
This integrated network of Agrometeorological, ARG, and AWS
stations reflects Haryana's commitment to harnessing advanced
technology for precise and timely meteorological data collection.
The map serves as a valuable resource for meteorologists,
researchers, and policymakers, facilitating a deeper
understanding of rainfall patterns and supporting evidence-
based decision-making in various sectors.
