[3] [failed verification] This comes from the fact the annual discharge of the springs is 27,500 acre-feet (33,900,000 m 3)/year, and the annual recharge for the drainage area (the range front and Fish Springs Flat) is about 4,000 acre-feet (4,900,000 m 3)/year, meaning over 6 times more water flows out of the springs than falls in the valley ...
