A Miner’s Inch of Water Explained by Sacramento Bee
A Sacramento Bee reader asked for the gallons per miner's inch and the amount needed to irrigate 5000 acres. The editor cites miner's inch as the flow through an inch square opening under four inches pressure, about 15000 gallons per 24 hours. Water needs vary by rainfall, temperature, and soil. five acres per miner's inch is often sufficient in the Sacramento Valley, while in arid Southern California the allowance may be ten acres per miner's inch for orange valleys.
