A square foot equals an area 12"Wide x 12"Long x 1"Deep. A cubic foot equals an area 12"W x 12"L x 12"D. Therefore, a cubic foot contains 12 square feet. A cubic foot contains 7.48 gallons of water (trust me). You divide a cubic foot by 12 to get 12 square feet, therefore you would divide 7.48 by 12 to get the amount of water contained in 1 square foot. 7.48 divided by 12 equals .623 gallons. For every inch of rainfall there will be .623 gallons of water falling on every square foot.

Why is there less gallons per square foot of deseil than water?

The question makes no sense. Presumably it refers to diesel rather than deseil! A square foot is a measure of area in 2-dimensional space whereas both diesel and water are measured in 3-dimesional space. A typical measure was a gallon - now antiquated. However, a gallon of water is exactly the same as a gallon of diesel or a gallon of any other fluid, for that matter!
