The volume of irrigation water is usually expressed in acre-feet. One acre-foot is a volume of water sufficient to cover exactly 1 acre of land to a depth of exactly 1 foot (640. acres = 1 mi2). The principal lake in the California Water Project is Lake Oroville, whose water storage capacity is listed as 3.54  106 acre-feet. Express the volume of Lake Oroville in ft3.

4. Water for irrigation is usually expressed in units of acre-feet.One acre foot is enough water to cover one acre of land to a depth of 1.00 feet. (1 acre = 43,560 ft2). A water reservoir has a maximum capacity of 8.97 x 105 acre-feet. What is the lake’s volume in litres?
calculate the volume of the water in ft3.
Lake Mead near the Hoover Dam, which is the largest man-made lake in the United States, contains 28,537,000 acre-feet of water (an acre-foot is the amount of water required to cover 1 acre to a depth of 1 foot). Express this water volume in m3 .
1.) Calculate rhe volume of a water cylinder with total height of 10 meters, diameter of 400 centimeters, and whose top section is a semi-sphere. Let V be the volume of the water cylinder, in m³. 2.) The ratio between curved surface area and total surface area of a right circular cylinder is 1:2. If the total surface area 616 square centimeters. What is true about the given right circular cylinder?
An irrigation canal has a rectangular cross section. At one point where the canal is 18.65 m wide and the water is 3.14 m deep, the water flows at 2.96 cm/s. At a second point downstream, but on the same level, the canal is 15.21 m wide, but the water flows at 11.4 cm/s. How deep is the water at this point? Express answers in meters (m).
The area bounded by the water line of a reservoir and the contours with a contour interval of 2 m. are as follows: A1 = 10250 m^2 A2 = 8350 m^2 A3 = 7750 m^2 A4 = 6900 m^2 A5 = 5250 m^2 Compute the volume of reservoir using end area method. (Type your answer in whole number, numerical value only, no need to include the units).
