Mercury is having a higher specific density ( about 13 times that of water) . So if we want to make a barometer using water it should be at least 13 times the length of mercury barometer that is about 11m so it is advisable to use mercury as a barometric liquid.

What does barometric pressure have to do with evaporation?
Above the surface of liquid water is a layer of water vapor. It has pressure. The atmosphere also has pressure. It pushes against the water vapor. The water vapor pushes against the atmosphere. It is called vapor pressure. It is related to temperature. When the vapor pressure equals barometric pressure, water boils. Normally this occurs at 100C or 212F. If you reduce the barometric pressure, you can reduce the boiling point of water. So when the barometric pressure is lower, the water vapor above the water has an easier time mixing with the atmosphere. As it mixes with the atmosphere, it is replaced by vapor from the water. It evaporates.
What is used to measure barometric pressure?
a barometer

What was the Mercury barometer used for?
The mercury barometer is a tool used by meteorologists and other scientists to find the air, or "barometric" pressure. Because mercury is liquid at room temperature, it can change shape due to changes in the atmosphere. Earth's barometric pressure is characterized as the downward force of air on the surface of Earth. If mercury is placed in a tube and the level decreases by a huge increment, it would show an increase in barometric pressure. Mercury barometers can also be used to detect incoming storms as right before a storm, the air pressure decreases drastically.

Why is a condenser called a condenser?
The reason why it is called a barometric condenser is because it makes contact and it is a long vertical pipe into which it condensates and cools the liquid flow to accomplish the removal of pressure. It is also stated that when the pump is used the system is called a low level barometric condenser.
What happens when barometric pressure increases?
When the barometric pressure rises it means calm fair weather is coming or is already occurring. When the barometric pressure falls it means foul weather is on the way such as rain and storms and clouds.
