[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1748505, member: 18945"] For perspective.... USGS says [I]One inch of rain falling on 1 acre of ground is equal to about [B]27,154 gallons[/B] and weighs about 113 tons[/I] Farmer's Almanac says: [I]An acre of ground contains 43,560 square feet. Consequently, a rainfall of 1 inch over 1 acre of ground could mean a total of 6,272,640 cubic inches of water. This is the equivalent of 3,630 cubic feet. As a cubic foot of pure water weighs about 62.4 pounds, it follows that the weight of a uniform coating of 1 inch of rain over 1 acre of surface would be 226,512 pounds or about 113 short tons.The weight of 1 U.S. gallon of pure water is about 8.345 pounds. Consequently, a rainfall of 1 inch over 1acre of ground would mean 27,143 gallons of water.[/I] That, is a lot of peeing... (Everywhere my dogs pee, the grass turns brown..) [/QUOTE]
