I saw the same question on a bottlecap the other day, which said 1 gallon. But look up the inverse of this on the web - you'll find the answer to "How much water is in a cubic mile of fog" is around 56,000 gallons. So unless you can turn a gallon of water into 56,000 gallons of water but first turning it into fog - a trick that would put you near the top of the Forbes 400 list, one of the answers is wrong. And judging by how much rain falls on us with a decent cloudburst, I'm in the 56,000 gallon camp.
5280 ft x 5280 ft x 5280 ft x 62.4 lbs per square ft = 9,185,152,204,800 lbs
One gallon of water takes up 231 cubic inches.
A cubic foot of water weighs 62.4 pounds (7.48 gallons * 8.33 pounds).
Gallons per cubic footOne cubic foot contains 7.48 U.S.gallons of water. One U.S. gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds, so one cubic foot of water weighs 62.38 lbs. Since one gallon equals 128 fluid ounces, a cubic foot of water contains 7.48 x 128 fluid ounces, or 957.44 ounces.
There are approximately 7.48 gallons in 1 cubic foot. To convert 2000 gallons to cubic yards: 2000 gallons / 7.48 gallons per cubic foot = 267.38 cubic feet. Then, to convert cubic feet to cubic yards: 267.38 cubic feet / 27 cubic feet per cubic yard = 9.91 cubic yards.

Scientists estimate that we have 326 million cubic miles of water. That means if I had a cube one mile by one mile by one mile and filled it with water that would be one cubic mile. So,if I had 326 million of those cubes (all filled with water) then that would be about the same amount of water on the Earth. About 72% of Earth is covered in water but 97% of that water is useless because it is salty.3% of water is left but 70% of 3% is frozen so we only have less than 1% of the Earth's water.

"Square cubic foot" or feet doesn't make sense. Either you have square feet, or cubic feet.
If it rained 1 inch thick water over 1 square mile, the volume of that water would be approximately 2,323,200 cubic feet. That is equal to 65,785,698.28 kilograms, or 145,030,199 pounds.

A cubic mile of seawater contains approximately 0.004 parts per million of gold, which translates to about 0.000006 grams of gold per liter. Given that there are about 4.2 billion liters in a cubic mile, this results in roughly 7,000 grams, or about 15.4 pounds, of gold in a cubic mile of seawater. However, extracting this gold is currently not economically viable due to the low concentration.
In the Philippines or anywhere else in the world, a cubic metre of water is 1,000 litres of water
