Savings are estimated lifetime cumulative water savings, up to 30 years. 778 million gallons roughly equals 2,388 acre-feet of water. An acre-foot is the standard metric used by many water agencies to report lifetime water savings. One acre-foot is roughly equivalent to a football field filled with one foot of water. 13
