Section 253 in Rajasthan Land Revenue (Land Records) Rules, 1957
253. Protection of the Gauge.
(a)It is often desirable to protect the gauge from being damaged by cattle, and for this purpose a fence may be erected around it. This can be made of any suitable material, but it must be of such a size that the top of the fence is not higher above the mouth of the gauge than half its distance from the gauge.(b)It is also desirable to keep the rain-gauge locked and have it painted periodically to prevent its surface from corroding. The Mathematical Instruments Office can supply rain-gauges with locking arrangements.
