Default How many gallons is my pond?

Larry wrote:

Everyone here seems to know how much their pond holds. Is there a
formula to help one figure it out.

My pond is lower receptacle(pond) is 3'x3'xabout 16". Figuring out
the volume is easy but how does that translate into gallons?

Thanks,

3 X 3 = 9sq ft = 1296 sq in
1296 X 16 = 20736 cu in
1 cu ft = 1728 cu in
20736cu in / 1728 cu in = 12 cu ft
1 cu ft = 7.46 U.S.Gallons
12 cu ft X 7.46 gal/cu ft = 89.52 = about 90 US Gallons
