Reference for Mikvaot 2:5

מִקְוֶה שֶׁיֶּשׁ בּוֹ שָׁלשׁ גֻּמּוֹת שֶׁל מַיִם שְׁאוּבִין שֶׁל לֹג לֹג, אִם יָדוּעַ שֶׁנָּפַל לְתוֹכוֹ אַרְבָּעִים סְאִין מַיִם כְּשֵׁרִין עַד שֶׁלֹּא הִגִּיעוּ לַגֻּמָּא הַשְּׁלִישִׁית, כָּשֵׁר. וְאִם לָאו, פָּסוּל. וְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן מַכְשִׁיר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא כְמִקְוֶה סָמוּךְ לְמִקְוֶה:

Regarding a <i>mikveh</i> that has three furrows containing drawn waters [along its sloping side, such that each furrow is above the next], with one <i>log</i> in each, if it is known that forty <i>se'ah</i> of valid water fell in before they reached the third furrow, it is valid; and if not, it is invalid. Rabbi Shimon considers it valid because it is like a <i>mikveh</i> next to a <i>mikveh</i>.
