ABSTRACT
Present methods of determining pond volume are time-consuming and
laborious. This paper describes a simple, rapid method for determining
water volume in ponds by measuring the change in chloride concentration
caused by the addition of a known weight of salt. Mean volume estimates
derived by this method were not significantly different (F-test; 0.01
level) from those obtained by multiplying surface area by mean depth or
measuring the flow rate through fill pipes.
