Thanks for the replies everybody!

dice, after reading some/many of these sites, it appears that there is a standard if no specifics are given: they assume 100 gallons per acre unless otherwise specified.

It just gets tricky if you try converting things like 0.5 to 2.0oz per acre into small spaces like a backyard, which may have x number of containers or raised beds.
