Pond Calculations

Pond Calculations:

How to determine the number of gallons of water in a pond?

Length x Width x Avg. Depth x 7.48 = total gallons

How to determine the number of gallons in a stream?

Length x Width x .25 x 7.48 = total gallons in stream

Pond-less Basin Calculations:

How to determine the number of gallons in Pond-less basin?

Length x Width x Depth x 2.2 = total gallons in basin

 

Electrical Consumption / Conversions
Amps x Volts ÷ 1,000 x .10 (kw/perhour) x 24 hrs x 30.4 days = Monthly Cost
Watts = volts x amps
Amps = watts ÷ volts

Rock Calculation for a POND
Length x Width ÷ 40 = Tons of boulders
***Using a 1:2:1 ratio***
For every (1 TON) of 6”-12” rock, Get (2 TON) of 12”-18” and (1 TON) of 18”-24”

Quantity of Boulders used in a STREAM
For Every 10’ of STREAM = (1 ½ TON) using 1:2:1 RATIO from above

Quantity of GRAVEL Used in the POND
Pond Gravel = 30% total tons of pond boulders

Quantity of GRAVEL Used in the STREAM
Stream Gravel = 30% total tons of STREAM Boulders

Small Pond/ D.I.Y. Rock Calculation for the POND
Length x Width ÷ 65 = Tons of boulders

Small Pond / D.I.Y. Quantity of Boulders used in a STREAM
For Every 10’ of STREAM = (½ TON) 6”-12” & (½ TON) 12”-18”
