California water measurements - chains, links, and furlongs

[caption id="attachment_17570" align="aligncenter" width="263"]GuntersChain Gunter's chain[/caption] Help your students understand what they are reading or hearing about the California drought.  Terms like acre-feet, chains, and furlongs are often used to describe the volume of the reservoirs.  Give your class a little practice and appreciation of the measurements while they learn a little about the immensity of the situation.
