We re 'erred the question to

informs III that sn acre-foot Of
water is that quantlry of water
that will cover one acre Of land to
a depth o. one foot, therefore, a
water user is enti:e ed TO the
quantity of water for the year
that wol Id cover all Of his
irr'gable land to II dn2th of three

Yet it 8 not possible to measure
the water that way hence the
other unit of measure that Of
second.feGt instead Of acre-feet is
used. To man who is not versed
in the ne cessary teari1nical terms.
the meas ring of g. sncond-f foot of

In fact D. second-foot Of water is

One cubic foot a. water per

equal to 1885 acre~Jeet. There
