Pond Volume Calculator

Estimate pond water volume using a simple plan shape and average water depth.

How it works

The calculator finds the plan area of the selected shape and multiplies it by average depth.

volume = plan area × average depth

Worked example

A rectangular pond 10 ft × 8 ft with a 2 ft average depth holds about 1,197 US gallons.

Assumptions

  • Average depth represents the water column, not maximum excavation depth.

Limitations

  • Natural and shelf-edged ponds are irregular; use measured average depth and treat the result as an estimate.
