e. Depth – inches,
f. Length – miles,
g. Velocity – ft/sec,
h. Volume – ac-in,
i. Flow Rate – cu-ft/sec
2. Statements (1) and (2) refer to water volumes. Are these Net or Gross volumes? (1) Crop water use (cu-ft) = Seasonal ET (ft) x Crop area (acres) x 43,560 sq-ft/acre (2) Volume applied by system (ac-in) = Application rate (in/hr) x Irrigation time (hr) x Area (acres)
a. (1) is Net; (2) is Gross

d. 0.97 inches
e. 3.90 inches
i. Volume in tube = column x tube area ii. Tube area = ∏ d2/4 = sq-in iii. Volume in tube = rainfall (in) x tube area = cu-in iv. Rain depth = volume in tube (cu-in) ÷ top funnel area (sq-in)
