How to use this table

Find the row closest to your catchment area and read across to the water volume. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Rainfall Volume Calculator for a precise answer.

Need a value that is not in the table? — the Rainfall Volume Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
