Comments Water useage is approximately equal each month because logging operations occur Monday through Friday for the period of May though October. Each day logs are being hauled and the roads need to be watered. Thus, water useage is fairly steady and equal week after week. The acre-feet reporting above is the total useage of 18 Acre Feet divided by 6 for the six months logging operations occurred on company lands in 2018.
