Mr. Ross's studies 1 Bulletin 86, Office of Experiment Stations, United States Department of Agriculture. 130 THE DUTY OF WATER showed that on...e irrigator received only 43 per cent of the water allowed him under his contract. If he had wasted what he did not need, his water would have cost him at the rate of 20 cents an acre-foot. By using economy his water cost him 49.6 cents an acre-foot.
