Dazbo BS: That's a lot of water! (20) BS: That's a lot of water! 01 Jul 07


Heard this on the telly the other day and didn't believe it so I worked it out.

one acre = 4046.8564224 square metres.
one inch of rain = 0.0254 metres of rain
so one inch of rain over one acre is 102.79 cubic metres of water
so one inch of rain over a square mile is 102.79 x 640 = 65,785.7 cubic metres of water which is about 65,786 tonnes of water.

Who'd a thunk it!
