Not really, if you are responsible for the water for an entire city, and you city water comes from a lake of a known size, then an acre-foot becomes an important measurement. If you have a 30 acre lake, and it drops by 1 ft in 1 month, then the lake has lost 30 acre-ft of water in a month, or 9,775,543.536 gallons. In this case, 30 acre-ft is easier to understand, and can be reduced to roughly 1 acre-ft/day. This would also mean that in order to have a 1 year water reserve, your lake would have to be 365 feet deep. Due to the slope of levees, and other factors, the equation is a bit more complicated than this, but it's still a valid measurement. -- MC Cason Eagle3D - Created by Matthias Weißer github.com/mcason/Eagle3D ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
