An eighth of an inch of rain may not seem like much to you, if you don’t live in the desert. On my weather system, it produces just a little blip on the rain graph.
But consider this… Our 9.63 acres of chaparral is 49,921,920 square inches, so that eight inch of rain equals 6,240,240 cubic inches of water. That’s 27,014 gallons (102,259 liters) of water on our parched land.
Sounds more significant that way, doesn’t it?
