Table Rock Lake Looking Up

[JLB]

Not much talk going on here, so let's try a math problem.

It's been dry and Table Rock lake has been low, down 13 feet from full pool.

A couple weeks ago it was at 902 (feet above sea level). Then it started raining. It is now going on 911, most of that in the last week.

That's 9 feet of new water spread over 42,500 acres. How many gallons is that?

It would have been more but our cloths sucked up some of that rain while we were at Silver Dollar City!

Well lets see this math problem:
According to http://fwie.fw.vt.edu/rhgiles/appendices/coefficients.htm :
Volume per Unit Area
Multiply by To Get...
inches per acre 27,154 gallons

9 feet = 108 inches
42,500 acres
108 x 42,500 x 27,154 = 124,636,860,000 gallons
or a little more then 124.6 Billion Gallons

Any math experts or conversion experts want to verify this?

ps.. Jim, thanks again for the invite sorry the limited time and the rain did not cooperate. We will have to plan again for this fall.

Wow. . . . . . . . . .

And how much does that weigh? (a pint's a pound the world around)
