SAMPLE OF CALCULATIONS

For manual calculation,

At depth of 1416 ft,

Area = 1.5 c m

acre
= 1.5 c m 0.000154 cm

= 0.000231 acres

Volume of reservoir is obtained by calculating the area under the graph of Depth against Area
(using planimeter) .

The area below the graph is assumed to be in trapezium shapes. Therefore,

Volume of reservoir =

( 1416+1418 ) ( 0.1 ) + ( 1418+1420 ) ( 0.3 ) + ( 1420+1422 )( 0.3 )+ ( 1422+1424 )( 0.4 ) + ( 1424+1426 )( 0.7 )+ (1426+ 142
