How do I calculate how many Litres in my pond?

Pond Water in Litres If you require this capacity in litres which most companies now work with, you will need to multiply the number of gallons by 4.5. e.g. calculate the number of litres by knowing the pond is 1,250 gallons: 1,250 x 4.5 = 5,625 litres.

How do I calculate my farm pond capacity?

The capacity of the pond is determined from a contour survey of the site at which the pond is to be located. From the contour plan of the site the capacity is calculated for different stages using the trapezoidal or simpson’s rule. This formula is also known as the prismodial rule.

How do I calculate the area of a pond?

Multiply the length times the width to get the square feet of surface area. This value can be converted to acres by dividing by 43,560 ft2/acre. So, a pond that measures 150 feet long and 100 feet wide would have an area = 150 feet X 100 feet = 15,000 ft2 or 0.34 acres.

How much water is in a pond?

There are 7.48 gallons of water in a cubic square foot. (L x W x 80\%) x average depth x 7.48 = gallons in a pond.

How do you measure the depth of a pond?

Take depth measurements spaced uniformly over the entire pond. Add these together and divide by the number of measurements taken. This will give you the average pond depth in feet. Next, multiply the surface area in acres by the average depth in feet.

What should be the depth of farm pond?

Greater depth of the pond and less surface area will also reduce evaporative losses. However, digging deeper than 5 meters will increase the expense of the digging, and increase seepage loss due to increased water pressure on the ground. A pond that is about 10 meters by 10 meters and 3 meters deep is an ideal size.

How big is a 1000 Litre pond?

Length: 240cm (7ft 11ins) Width: 140cm (4ft 7ins) Depth: 62cm (2ft) 1000 Litres (220 Gallons)

How do you calculate the average depth of a pond?

Average Depth: Determining average depth is most often calculated by dividing the maximum depth by two. This works if the pond bottom has a relatively uniform bottom slope. FORMULA: Maximum Depth (ft.) ÷ 2 = Average Depth (ft.)

How deep should a pond be?

As a general rule of thumb, a pond should be 60cm (2ft) deep if you want plants and fish in it. Water that’s too shallow is vulnerable to evaporating in warm weather and freezing in winter. If you want to grow marginal plants along the edge of the water, you need to create shelves for them to stand on.
