If you were a swimming pool builder you would have to build a pool that was 267 feet long, 50 feet wide and 10 feet deep. Now that's a lot of water!
How much does a million gallons of water weigh?
At 8.34 pounds per gallon a million gallons weighs in at 8,300,000 pounds.
by the way:
1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 128 ounces = 231 cubic inches
1 liter = 0.2642 gallons = 1.0568 quart = 61.02 cubic inches
1 million gallons = 3.069 acre feet = 133,685.64 cubic feet
wow!
