I have 12 acre feet of water rights on 58 acres in Montana and its still a lot of work.
(For sale btw: It's fun as a giant playground http://www.eralandmark.com/listings/view/307976)
Could you explain these terms better? How does that work? Thanks!
The poster then can use about 4 million gallons of water per year for his land.
When spread out over this amount of land, that’s about 66% of the amount of water needed for a suburban grass lawn in a hot climate.
One thing though:
> that’s about 66% of the amount of water needed for a suburban grass lawn in a hot climate
I'm not sure how to related to this. If a person wanted to grow food in a hot climate they'd probably build tunnels or shaded houses or some such, or grow olives or some other food plant suited to the conditions, using drip irrigation. Where as a suburban lawn is typically exposed to direct sun light and watered in a typically less than optimal way.
