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. All water-right agreements should promote economy. A charge for water by the acre-foot delivered rather than by the acres of land irrigated cannot fail to have a marked influ- ence in increasing the duty of water. Another way to increase the duty of water would be to charge the farmer for what he uses each twenty- four hours.
