To calculate number of square feet of surface area
Rectangular pond: length x width = square feet of pond
Circular pond: 3.14 (1/2 diameter x 1/2 diameter) = square feet of surface
To calculate number of cubic feet
Rectangular pond: length x width x depth = volume in cubic feet
Circular pond: 3.14 (1/2 diameter x 1/2 diameter) x depth = volume in cubic
feet
To calculate number of gallons
Cubic feet x 7.5 gallons = capacity in gallons
(There are 7.5 gallons of water per cubic foot.)
