- njarboe 9y agoIt sounds a bit weird but the first large irrigation projects were used for farming. When you irrigate your fields (measured in acres) to a depth of about a foot each time, it is the natural unit for large water use. Why switch?
- sho 9y agoWho the hell would "irrigate" their fields to a depth of 1 foot? That's not irrigation, it's a literal flood! Unless you're growing rice in a paddy I guess?
