[QUOTE="cross_7, post: 906165, member: 8382"] water in west texas has been a hot topic as of late. from what i have heard farmers will be limited to 15" of water per acre per year( about 25000 gallons for an inch over 1 acre x 15 times, times 120 acres (most pivots cover 120 acres. do the math) i had a place sw of lubbock that in the winter time i had plenty of water, but during the summer my neighbors had 5 circles running and i only got about 1 gallon a minute and i burned up 2 pumps because i'd run out of water. lubbock and amarillio aquired the pickens water field but there are lots of other places that are in trouble. lots of little towns that don't have enough water or funds and brought in a prison for the federal money and jobs only to find out the prison uses more water than the town. the further southwest you go the worse it gets [/QUOTE]
