Rain Volume Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Rain Volume (RV) is:

\[ RV = \frac{L \times W \times RH}{231} \]

Where:

\( RV \) is the Rain Volume (gallons)
\( L \) is the Length of the area (inches)
\( W \) is the Width of the area (inches)
\( RH \) is the Rain Height (inches)

What is Rain Volume?

Rain volume refers to the volume measurement (or quantity) of rain or other precipitation that has fallen and accumulated on the ground or over a specified area in a given period of time.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Length (L) = 100 inches
Width (W) = 50 inches
Rain Height (RH) = 2 inches

Using the formula to calculate the Rain Volume:

\[ RV = \frac{100 \times 50 \times 2}{231} \approx 43.29 \text{ gallons} \]

The Rain Volume is approximately 43.29 gallons.
