One on-line resource says that the area of Lake Lanier is 57.92 square miles,
and that it's 160-ft deep.
Using those figures, the volume is 1,932 billion gallons. (rounded)
You have to be careful with that number. In addition to some water, part of the
volume is undoubtedly occupied by mud, fish, suburban lawn-fertilizer run-off,
discarded tires, a sunken bass boat or two, several lost Golf balls, and frogs.
The number is a reliable ballpark order-of-magnitude bulletproof guesstimate.
