Database Table Name: sw_raingage

Field Name	Help Text	Database Field	Data Type	Size	Units	Precision	Default	Error Lower Limit	Error Upper Limit	Warning Lower Limit	Warning Upper Limit
Rain gage ID	Unique name for this rain gage.	raingage_id	Text	254		0
x	The X co-ordinate position of the rain gage.	X	Double		XY
y	The Y co-ordinate position of the rain gage.	Y	Double		XY
Snow catch factor	Correcting factor to convert rain gage readings for snowfall.	scf	Double				1
Rainfall profile	Either: The name of a rainfall profile in the rainfall event that this rain gage is associated with. See Using Rainfall Events for further information about linking rainfall profiles to rain gages in SWMM networks. Or: The ID of a TVD connector with point geometry. The TVD connector must be linked to a scalar TSD that contains the rainfall data. See TVD connectors for further information.	rainfall_profile	Text	64		0		0	0	0	0
