If you were to build a 5 mega liter dam how much land would be needed based on an average depth dam?

Well, let's suppose the reservoir would average 50 meters deep. Lake Mead is a lot deeper at Hoover dam, but it's also a pretty unusual reservoir. There are 1000 liters per cubic meter, so 5*10^6 liters = 5000 cubic meters. With an average depth of 50 meters, that's a surface of 100 square meters. Considerably smaller than you're average suburban lot. That means we're talking about a farm pond, not a national monument. So maybe 50 meters is a lousy estimate of the depth. Let's say it's 2 meters. So now we have a surface area of 2500 square meters, which is 50 meters on a side, which would be a pretty good sized farm pond. But you get the idea by now. It's somewhere in that range.
