How many inches of rain would 1.4 million gallons be equal to?

Posted 10 years ago

Hi Everyone. I am not a good at mathematics, and I can not figure out how to ask wolfram alpha the question I need the answer to. I was hoping that someone might be kind enough to help me.

I am trying to determine how much rain on an annual basis this would equal:

1.4 Million gallons of water sprayed 6 days a week for a year. The area it will be sprayed on is 600 acres.

Any help at all is appreciated even if it is just the answer. If you can show me how to ask Wolfram alpha that would be great as well in case I need to change the amount of acres.

Thank you to anyone who can help. I really appreciate it. This is very important to a community who is trying to keep a chicken processing plant out of our neighborhood. The plant will use 1.4 million gallons of wastewater daily. They will be spraying it on 600 acres of land. In our part of the country the average rainfall s 45 inches. What I am trying to figure out is how much additional rainfall this wastewater will equal.

Thanks!
