Record your answer. As you can see from the picture, the region is not a simple figure. You will need to carefully outline the region to get the total area. During high water flow, the wetland has about six inches of water on it. The product is measured in cubic feet.
Hydrologists use acre-feet to determine how much water can be stored in a resevoir or wetland.
An acre-foot is one acre of land with water at an average depth of one foot. To determine the amount of water that can be stored in this wetland at the December 1998 high water mark of six inches, first convert your total area to acres. Then divide the result by two.
