All depends on what you want to use the water for :-
- Domestic use a family of 4 with all mod cons (dishwasher etc) with go through c.1200gallons/week
- Agricultural irrigation 5GPM sure isn't going to water 20acres constantly
Often water restrictions are applied to preserve the water source quality,flows & volume as water isn't an infinite resource, &/or to limit the salt table rising & devalue the viability of the land through over irrigation........................either way I'd be doing the research to find out the reasons, though it wouldn't necesarily dissuade from purchasing good acres
