Odd call in a deed
This is found in an easement grant, it’s not important for the work I’m doing, but I’m very curious:
“Together with a water right of 500 inches of the waters of XYZ Creek”
I hadn’t seen water volumes described that way before, the best I can think of calculating it is 0.3 cfs of water. That does fit with volumes in the small stream created by the local creek.
One engineer I talked to said he had seen that description and was told it’s from the old underground mining days.
Anyone here know the calculation for water described that way?
