Inch of Water Defined by Oregon Supreme Court
The Oregon Supreme Court defines an inch of water for miners and farmers in Gardner et al v Wright. The ruling outlines measurement standards tied to a six inch head and converts inches to second feet. It states that 60 inches for irrigation is a flat right, with additional water reserved for others when not in use. The decision references multiple engineering texts and cases to support the measurement method.
