Pond Size
To figure out the surfare area of your pond muliply the average width by the
average length. This gives you the surface area in square feet.
To find out how many gallons of water is in your pond use the average length
multiplied by the average width multiplied by the average depth in feet.
This gives use the volume in cubic feet. Then multiply this figure, by 7.5
(the number of gallons in a cubic foot) to get the total volume in gallons.
(example average length 10ft, average width 4ft, average depth 2ft.
10x4x2x7.5=600gallons)
If it is a round pond you would multiply the diameter by diameter,
multiplied by the average depth, then multiply by 5.9 to get the total
volume in gallons.
(example 10ft diameter, average depth 3ft. 10x10x3x5.9=1770gallons)
If you have a pond that is sloped from one end to the other, use the average
depth. Example: Your pond is 2 foot deep at the shallow end and 5 foot deep
at the deep end; you would add 2+5=7 and divide by 2 witch would give you
the average of 3.5

Square/Rectangular Ponds
Length x Width x Depth x 7.5 ( ______ ' x
______ ' x ______ ' x 7.5 ) = ________ gallons
Remember to use the average length, width and depth. If your ponds not a
perfect square/rectangle
Round Ponds
Diameter x Diameter x Depth x 5.9 ( ______ ' x ______
' x ______ ' x 5.9 ) = ________ gallons |
