Work out how many gallons of water sit on (or are needed to flood) a given area at a chosen depth — useful for ponds, flooded slabs, irrigation and coverage estimates.

The math behind it

Volume in cubic feet = area × depth (both in feet), so depth in inches is divided by 12.

One cubic foot of water holds 7.48052 US gallons, so multiply cubic feet by 7.48052.

Worked example

100 ft² at 1 in deep → 100 × (1/12) × 7.48052 = 62.3 US gallons.
