Step 2 - Useful information
 
Metric Conversions
1 liter = 0.2642 US gallons
1 meter = 3.28 feet
1 cm = 0.3937 inches
Estimated Daily Water Usage
People: 10 to 100 gallons per day
Cattle: 10 to 30 gallons per day in dry weather.
Small Animals: 0.01 gallon per day per pound
Poultry: 6 to 12 gallons per day hundred birds
Young Trees: 15 gallons per day in dry weather.
Water Pressure
1 Pounds/Square Inch (PSI) = 2.31' of lift
Typical city water pressure is 40 PSI

4j. Does the water need to be pressurized? *
Yes
No
4k. If the water is pressurized then what is the Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). 40 PSI is typical city water pressure.
