The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1895-03-27

states in reptnse to @n Enquiry of Wsan, HCTr,
Warner & Co.. that In order to Supply our
selves with water under Che conditions which
must be met it WHY be necessary to store water
from 800 acres. This soands like the ssory
Of four square miles OF watershed.
There are eight and One-eighth square miles
in $500 acres. Area OF corporation is one and
a half square miles. The extent OF roof sur
face and drainage area Of ponds cannot eX-
ceed At q liberal guess more than square
mile. Not all the available roof surface is
used Very few have csterps Of sufficient ca
pacity ts receive one-half the water collected
upon the roofs drained. 1t would be unprece-
dented that higying supplied ourselves from
less than the area Of the corporations, The
erection ofWaterUorkS would require us to
resort to watershed OF $500 acgesin cStent
4 TO supply ous wants.
| Calculation based upon the average rain
fan Of this regSOn;a watershed of that extent
Will furnish annually 1,3SS,0OO,0OO gallons,
enough for daily consumption of 3,SOO.OgO
gallons, or a daily consumption fer each

Suppose these conditions we-F am 01g those
upon which Prcf?Brown based It's eOncluSiOns.
Then he virtually, states that 53R acres with ~
minimum rainfall VILE furnish NO with 400, 600
per day. Half this quantity or 100000 isNmOne
than ample. Thsr2l5 2oDeS, one half 500 acresS
will give us the latter amount. But We have
36l, 4a6 or S24 acJes to use as is necessaT, Our
Professor may have given our vaterslssdun-
