What are the meteorological concepts of rainfall of 50 mm and 100 mm?
According to the calculation that 1mm precipitation falls into the field, the area per mu is 666.7m2 Therefore, 1mm precipitation is equivalent to an increase of 0.667m3 of water per mu. Every cubic meter of water is 1000 kg, so the precipitation of 1 mm is equivalent to watering about 650 kg of water per mu.
The rainfall per unit time is called rainfall intensity. Rainfall intensity is classified according to rainfall grade.
