Ask Questions About the
Amount of Water.
The question of the amount of
water needed and equipment neces-
sary to secure such of natures
liquid has prompted the writer to in-
vestigate. The'government reports
will state that an irrigation project
that will insure from 24 to 36 inches
of water during the year is a safe
thing. At the maximum figure,
this means 54,300 gallons of water
per acre which may be applied every
twenty days during the year. Ap •
plied to the surface, evaporation
would effect the actual amount used
by the plants.
But in this section much less water
will suffice. Beginning, say in
April, an average of three inches of
water per month will produce all the
crops that can be harvested. Run-
ning for five months in the year,
from April to September, that am-
ount is all that is needed.
Taking for granted that no rain
should fall in that period, the pump-
ing equipment to supply that amount
of water which would be about 81,-
457 gallons per acre each month,
could be determined. Remember that
an acre-foot of water is 325,829 gal-
lons, with one foot of water cref "
the surface of one acre.
The following table may be of
interest to those who are turning
their minds toward such matters.
