water conversions

After you plug your pump in, you will probably discover that it doesn't work. the problem is that it is a 3 dimensional pump. 3D pumps pump cubic feet of water. If you want to pump square feet, you need a two dimensional pump. it is a flat pump that can has the ability to remove volume from something that has no volume. it kind of looks like a sheet of paper with a hose and cord coming from the top. you're in luck, because i happen to have a used one sitting right here and you can have it for the bargain price of $1599.99

anyways, the other people are right about there being 7.5 gallons per CUBIC foot of water. but you can still call me if you are interested in the two dimensional pump that pumps square feet. :)

Go to the LA; MS; AR; ALA; Ag sites and search for catfish ponds or farm ponds. These are all big catfish farm states and the ag center has many publications on ponds. By searching these publications you can find anything you need to know about ponds such as evaporation rate, well size and pump size to replace this water ect..... ...

27,154 x 12 = 325,848 gallons per acre foot

I like working in inchs.

1000gpm= 231 (ci in a gallon) X 1000 = 231000ci / 144 (ci in a sq/ft, 12"x12"x1"=144")= 1604sq/ft 1" deep.

4" of water then would cover (1604/4) = 401sq/ft

I think you mean cubic feet instead of square feet. That is, 43,560 cubic feet per acre-foot. There are 7.48 gal per cubic foot. Therefore, an acre foot has a volume of about 325,830 gallons. For a pump delivering 1000 gal/min, it would take 326 min to pump 1 acre-foot
