So my question is knowing that one inch if rainfall drops approximately 27000 gallons of water on 1 acre if the rain hits 70 acres does that mean there is about 1.8 million gallons of water on the field?
There is no reason to include the topo. Assuming even rain across the entire 70 acres that would be the way I'd calculate itTN Whitetail Freak":1fdpmj8b said:Idk, I'm just seeing if that's the way to calculate rainfall assuming rainfall is even I'm not understanding why topography is needed for the math new to it.

That makes sense

I thought that was what your were referring to but none of this stops 1.8 million from falling on 70 acres.MickThompson":19vm2cfb said:You also have to calculate what run off ends up there and account for soil type and moisture content. A saturated soil will stand water quicker than dry, and the structure and texture of the soil will affect how long it takes for the water to leak out through the soil profile.
I think it will be quicker to learn by experience than to try to calculate where the water will be.
