Well, you know there are 43,560 square feet in an acre, and you know there are 12 inches to a foot. The next clue you need is a conversion factor from volume in gallons to the units of area, which in this case is inches; so, there are 231 cubic inches to a gallon. You now have all the information you need to algebraically determine the number of gallons in an acre inch.

How many gallons of water equals four inches of rain on an acre?
108,600 gallons.
One inch of rain equals how many gallons of water over 100 acres of land?
according to the USGS, 1" of rain peracre = 27,154 gallons; so 1" of rain on 100 acres would be 2,715,400 gallons
How many gallons are in 1 of rain?
None - an inch is a distance, a gallon is a volume. They are not directly linked.
How much water is one inch of rain over an acre?
There are far too many variables to say. The answer to this will be relaitive to your location, and you would need to take some measurements in your local area. The best way to calculate this would be to take a sample (say 1 foot square) and multiply your results by the number of square feet in one acre. A suggested means would be to use a rain gauge with a 1 foot square funnel, to measure total rain fallen on the area. then you would need to asertain the drop size. I would use a sheet of tissue paper, weigh it, then allow it to be hit by a single drop of average size, and then re-weigh. 1 gram will equal 1 millilitre, and thus you can work out how many drops by dividing your total water in your sample area. You may want to use a normal rain gauge in addition to this in order to get an acurate idea of when you acheive a 1 inch rainfall.
5 inches of snow would equal how many inches of rain?
It can vary a lot - a common figure would be about half an inch of rain, but you could have an inch of water with very wet snow.
How much water is an inch of rain on 1 acre?
27,150 gallons.
How much rain falls at the rate of 1 inch per hour?
An inch of rain implies water one inch deep per surface area. An inch of rain equals 5.61 gallons per yard. An inch of rain equals 27,150 gallons per acre.
How many gallons of water equals four inches of rain on an acre?
108,600 gallons.
How much rain is 1 inch over 1 acre?
1 acre = 43,560 square feet1 inch = 1/12 footVolume = 43,560 x 1/12 = 3,630 cubic feet = 27,154.3 gallons (rounded)
How many gallons will run off of a 2400 sq ft structure with a 1 inch rain?
1,496.104 gallons
How many gallons of water is one inch of rain on 600 sq ft roof top?
300 gallons
How many gallons of water needed to produce one inch of water through an irrigation system on one acre of turf?
First you need to figure out the volume of one inch of water covering one acre. 1 acre = 4840 sq yards = 4840 * 3 * 3 sq ft = 4840 * 3 * 3 * 12 * 12 sq in ==> 1 acre = 6,272,640 sq in So, the total volume of water is 6,272,640 * 1 cu in One gallon is about 231 cu in, so the amount of rain in gallons is 6,272,640 / 231 = 27,154 US gallons

How many gallons of water does one inch of rain falling on one acre of ground equal?
Well, an acre is 43,560 sq. feet. One inch is 1/12 feet so one acre of water 1 inch deep is43560 1/12 = 3630 cubic feet of water.There are 231 cubic inches in an American gallon. A cubic foot is 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches and thus one cubic foot is 12 12 12 = 1728 cubic inchesso 3630 cubic feet is 3630 728 = 6272640 cubic inches. Thus the amount of water needed to cover one acre to a depth of 1 inch is 6272640/231 = 27154.3 gallons.
