Not illustrated. 1900 Excerpt: ...quantities is not great enough to be taken into consideration. By converting the results of measurements in miner's inches to gallons, cubic feet, or some other familiar unit, it may be determined how long it will take the stream to fill a reservoir or cover a given field with the necessary depth of water. This unit is readily convertible into cubic feet or gallons or acre-inches of water, according to the time the water flows. The following5 data will be helpful in computations: One miner's inch, as described above, equals 0.1496 gallon per second; 8.976 gallons per minute; 538.56 gallons per hour; 12,925.44 gallons per day; 0.02 cubic foot per second; 1.2 cubic feet per minute; 72 cubic feet per hour. One acre-inch of water (that is, 1 inch in depth over an acre of surface) equals 27,152 gallons, or 3,630 cubic feet, and 1 miner's inch will supply this quantity in about 50.4 hours. Thus a simple calculation shows that a little stream of 5 miner's inches will supply enough water to cover an acre 2.3 inches deep in about 23 hours--a fair amount for one irrigation of soil of average character if it has not been allowed to become too dry before the application;1 in fact, this is an average amount actually used for an irrigation of shallow-rooted plants like most field and garden crops. SOURCES OF WATER SUPPLY AND THEIR USE. The sources of water supply and methods of use most frequently available for a single farm include the following: Diversion of perennial streams; development in dry stream beds; development of springs; catchment from outcroppings of water-bearing strata; tunneling to intercept such strata when deeply covered; flowing wells; pumping from wells, lakes, or streams, and storage of storm water from surface flow or from drainage systems.
