Pond Measurements: Area, Volume and Residence Time
The importance of getting an accurate estimation of your pond surface area cannot be overestimated. The majority of pond owners visually estimate their pond area, which usually results in an overestimate of the true pond surface area. Pond area and water volume should be calculated based on some simple measurements. The effort necessary to estimate pond surface area is directly related to your pond's shape and uniformity. The simplest method--using basic equations for common shapes--can be applied if your pond closely resembles a circle, square, rectangle, or trapezoid in shape.
Pond Shapes
Circular
pond shape can be estimated by measuring the distance around the pond shoreline in feet. Square the shoreline distance and divide by 547,390 to get the pond area in acres. For example, a pond that is 450 feet around the shoreline would have an area = (450 feet)2 / 547,390 or 0.37 acres.
