This winter has been a boon for ski resorts in California with plenty of powder to go around, and at one resort, the snow has reached new heights. Over 600 inches (50 feet) of snow has fallen on ...
Pressure conversion between msw and fsw is slightly different from length conversion between metres and feet; 10 msw = 32.6336 fsw and 10 m = 32.8083 ft. [1] The US Navy Diving Manual gives conversion factors for "fw" (feet water) based on a fresh water density of 62.4 lb/ft 3 and for fsw based on a sea water density of 64.0 lb/ft 3. [1]
It lifts water 1,926 feet (600 m) to cross the Tehachapi Mountains where it splits into the west and east branches of the California Aqueduct serving Southern California. It is the most powerful water lifting system in the world, not considering pumped-storage hydroelectricity stations.
