This article lists the largest lakes, natural and man-made, in the United States by volume—the amount of water they contain under normal conditions. Volumes given for lakes shared with Canada and Mexico are for the total volume of the lake.
This article lists lakes with a water volume of more than 100 km 3, ranked by volume. The volume of a lake is a difficult quantity to measure. [1] Generally, the volume must be inferred from bathymetric data by integration. Lake volumes can also change dramatically over time and during the year, especially for salt lakes in arid climates.
The acre-foot is a non-SI unit of volume equal to about 1,233 m 3 commonly used in the United States in reference to large-scale water resources, such as reservoirs, aqueducts, canals, sewer flow capacity, irrigation water, [1] and river flows. An acre-foot equals approximately an eight-lane swimming pool, 82 ft (25 m) long, 52 ft (16 m) wide ...
6 volumetric measures from the mens ponderia in Pompeii, a municipal institution for the control of weights and measures (79 A. D.). A unit of volume is a unit of measurement for measuring volume or capacity, the extent of an object or space in three dimensions.
One ammonam was equal to 203.4 L. [1] One parrah = 1 ⁄ 8 ammonam, oneseer = 1 ⁄ 288 ammonam and the chundoo was equal to nearly half a pint. [ 2 ] Maccauly stated in 1818 that to the north of Colombo an Ammonam contained 16 Parahs , and 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 Ammonams equalled one Acre , but that to the south there were 8 Parahs to the Ammonam .
The IEEE symbol for the cubic foot per second is ft 3 /s. [1] The following other abbreviations are also sometimes used: ft 3 /sec; cu ft/s; cfs or CFS; cusec; second-feet; The flow or discharge of rivers, i.e., the volume of water passing a location per unit of time, is commonly expressed in units of cubic feet per second or cubic metres per second.
The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight W divided by the volume V of a material: = / Equivalently, it may also be formulated as the product of density, ρ, and gravity acceleration, g: = Its unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) is newton per cubic metre (N/m 3), with ...
