Well, you know there are 43,560 square feet in an acre, and you know there are 12 inches to a foot. The next clue you need is a conversion factor from volume in gallons to the units of area, which in this case is inches; so, there are 231 cubic inches to a gallon. You now have all the information you need to algebraically determine the number of gallons in an acre inch.

How many gallons of water equals four inches of rain on an acre?

One inch of rainfall on one acre is equivalent to 27,154 gallons of water. Therefore, four inches of rain on an acre would be equal to 108,616 gallons of water.


How many gallons are in 1 of rain?

None - an inch is a distance, a gallon is a volume. They are not directly linked.


How many gallons of water fall when one inch of rain falls on one arc of land?

One inch of rain falling on one acre of land is equivalent to approximately 27,154 gallons of water.


One inch of rain equals how many gallons of water over 100 acres of land?

One inch of rain over 100 acres of land would equal about 27.1 million gallons of water. This calculation is found by multiplying the acreage (100 acres) by the volume of water in one inch of rain (27,154 gallons per acre-inch).


How much water is one inch of rain over an acre?

There are far too many variables to say. The answer to this will be relaitive to your location, and you would need to take some measurements in your local area. The best way to calculate this would be to take a sample (say 1 foot square) and multiply your results by the number of square feet in one acre. A suggested means would be to use a rain gauge with a 1 foot square funnel, to measure total rain fallen on the area. then you would need to asertain the drop size. I would use a sheet of tissue paper, weigh it, then allow it to be hit by a single drop of average size, and then re-weigh. 1 gram will equal 1 millilitre, and thus you can work out how many drops by dividing your total water in your sample area. You may want to use a normal rain gauge in addition to this in order to get an acurate idea of when you acheive a 1 inch rainfall.

How many gallons of water needed to produce one inch of water through an irrigation system on one acre of turf?

First you need to figure out the volume of one inch of water covering one acre. 1 acre = 4840 sq yards = 4840 * 3 * 3 sq ft = 4840 * 3 * 3 * 12 * 12 sq in ==> 1 acre = 6,272,640 sq in So, the total volume of water is 6,272,640 * 1 cu in One gallon is about 231 cu in, so the amount of rain in gallons is 6,272,640 / 231 = 27,154 US gallons
