## What is TransectRainGauges?

A simple data collection app for iPhones and iPads created for ranches with multiple rain gauges or water wells positioned around the property. The user enters the name of each gauge or well, which is then displayed in ascending alphabetic order. Upon selection of a gauge or well the user then enters the rainfall noted for that gauge or the depth to waterford that well, which is then presented in the order of most recent observation to earlier observations. Should the user wish to export data from this app, the iTunes File Sharing mode may be used to export SQLite files which may then be imported into an SQLite file reader or manipulator on the user's computer.

File sharing may also be used to import gauge and well names before running the app. This facility can be used only once, before any other data is entered.’

To use the first time use loading facility to batch load gauge and/or well names, create json files, instructions for doing so may be found on the web site www.kilihune-books.com.
