<br />February 19, 2007 <br /> <br />Peltier lake Spring <br /> <br />While viewing the video at home I timed each of the three fills from seal to spout. Then <br />documented the times. I viewed the video three times. I then added the results and averaged the <br />times giving me a number of 2.83 seconds to fill the half gallon bottle. <br /> <br />2.83 seconds per half gallon. Times this by 2 to get seconds per gallon. <br /> <br />5.66 seconds per gallon. Divide this by 60 to get how many gallons per minute. <br /> <br />10.60 gallons per minute. Time this by 60 to get how many gallons per hour. <br /> <br />636.04 gallons per hour. Times tMs by 24 to get gallons per day. <br /> <br />15,265 gallons per day. Times this by 365 to get gallons per year. <br /> <br />5,571 ,7225 gallons per year. <br /> <br />Granted this is a one day measure and I would need to measure this once a month to be more <br />accurate, but this might give us an idea of how many gallons we could hope to be getting from our <br />'hidden spring'. <br /> <br />I did one other thing while at the spring. I also took a % oz. fishing sinker and fishing line and <br />dropped it in the hole to get a rough measure of the depth of pipe. When the sinker stopped I <br />lifted it up about a foot and dropped it back down a couple of time to make sure it had bottomed <br />out. I then pulled out the line and measured it. 19.5 feet. Assuming that the sinker did hit <br />bottom it's not very deep at all. <br />
