Expert Figures on Rainfallin
The Dayton Flooded District.

Louisville, KY, April Be
fore the last of the flood water
which fell over the Ohio valley
above Louisville March 2427
has passed under the bridges
here; enough will have rolled by
to fill with water tank eighty
seven and a fifth miles long, ten
miles wide and fifty feet deep,
according to the calculation of
f. j Walz, professor of meteor
ology at the local weather bu-
reau. These figures are based
on reports showing that the av
erage rainfall avove here was 6
inches though undoubtedly at
least double that fell in Indiana
and Ohio districts. TO explain
what this amount of rain means
in quantitive measurement, Mr..
Walz has compiled the following
statistics:
An inch of rain means 27,154
gallons to the acre, or 1873,
TAO gallons to the squire mile.
Then six inches, the average that
fell over the Ohio river district,
equals about 1O4, 225, 600 gallons
to the square mile.
The drainage area of Ohio
river above Louisville is 81, POO
square miles. Therefore 6 inch
es of rail over this area means
5000, 600 gallons OF water. This
would fill a lake S72 square miles
in area and fifty feet deep. y The
area of Lake Ontario is Is, 200
square miles.
The weight of one inch of
water over an acre is about 100
tons; over square mile "a, Ooo
tons. Therefore the weight of
this great volume of water, rep
resented by six inches of rain
over the drainage area above
Louisville, means 33, 1874, 900 GOO
tons
