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.
The map shows the locations of the lakes with a volume over 4 x 10 6 m³ and gives an indication of the volume of water in each lake. The markers suggest this by showing the size of a drop of water where the volume of the drop would be in proportion to the quantity of water in the lake (the diameter of the drop is proportional to the cube root of the lake's volume).
The Ross Barnett Reservoir, often called the Rez, is a reservoir of the Pearl River between Madison and Rankin counties in the U.S. state of Mississippi.The 33,000-acre (130 km 2) lake serves as the state's largest drinking water resource, and is managed by the Pearl River Valley Water Supply District.
The city generally provides about 11 million gallons a day of water to the county. [3] Henrico's water main on Staples Mill Road dates to the 1950s, and had had emergency repairs completed on it many times in the 18 months before the outage.
The proper answer had been 92.2 million US gallons (349,000 m 3) until construction of Michie Stadium reduced it to its current size. [2] Its surface elevation is 327 feet (100 m) above sea level. Prior to 1930, the school's ice hockey team used the reservoir as their home rink during
The board states that since the Lake is used for drinking water, body contact with water is not allowed, but fishing, boating, rowing and camping are permitted. [18] The "no body contact with water" lake policy was established by The Casitas Municipal Water District in the 1950s and 1960s because the lake did not have a filtration system in place.
In an average home, showering is the second largest water use after toilets. The average shower uses 15.8 gallons (59.7 liters) and lasts for 7.7 minutes at average flow rate of 2.1 gallons per minute (gpm) (7.9 liters per minute). [1] On average, in a household of average size (2.65 persons) 12.4 showers are taken each week.
Lake Strom Thurmond, officially designated J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir [1] at the federal level, and Clarks Hill Lake by the state of Georgia, [2] is a man-made reservoir at the border between the U.S. states of Georgia and South Carolina in the Savannah River Basin.
