Abstract: In the examples described herein, a portable watering apparatus includes a reservoir with at least one transparent sidewall having volume dispensing measuring indicia. A spout is connected at or near the bottom of reservoir. When the apparatus is tilted to a watering angle, liquid flows from the reservoir through the spout to exit the apparatus. The indica allows the user to determine the remaining volume of liquid in the reservoir while the apparatus is positioned at the watering angle. As the liquid flows, the volume of liquid dispensed can be determined by observing the change in liquid level relative to the indicia.
