Pond Measurement

 

Multiply length x width x average water depth (feet) x 7.5

Example: 8' x 4' x 2' x 7.5' = 480 gallons

 

Multiply length x width, then divide by 43,560 (square feet per acre)

Example: 80' x 140' / 43,560 = .2571 which is approximately 1/4 surface acre

 

Multiply diameter x itself x average water depth (feet) x 5.9.

Example: 4' x 4' x 2' x 5.9 = 188 gallons

 

Multiply circumference x itself and then divide by 547,390.

Example: 520' x 520' / 547,390 = .4939 which is approximately 1/2 surface acre
