Okay......
I'm drawing diagrams and reading a bunch. first question ? The pond
will cover an area 24' by 28' when all is said and done...so how do I figure out how many gallons that will be...what's the formula ? second question.....I know it will take this summer, plus over the winter, to plan out this project, so can anyone suggest a book that tells you start to finish. Or what authors are good ones ? p.s. the pond will be inground |

Or what authors are good ones ? p.s. the pond will be inground Hi, The LxWxDx7.481 = gallons will be close but any pondbuilder worth his/her salt (no pun intended) will actually measure the water it takes to fill the pond. The best way are water meters that can be had for around $50.00 that will give the exact amount even if water is being used while the filling is being done which can be a problem with the bucket/hose method. Worth the money for a pond this size. As for books if it was written by Helen Nash you can't go wrong. HTH -_- how no NEWS is good for a reply |

Toilets and dishwashing etc may add a percent or two to the total, but rains and/or evaporation will cause the actual volume to fluctuate that much anyway. $50 will buy a lot of beer for when you need to plant watercress. |
