The lake holds:

holds 28,537,000 acre-feet of water (approximately 35,200,000 megalitres).

Will replace in article as soon as I work out the zeroes in megalitres.

mega = 10^6. Hence 35,200,000 megalitres is 35,200,000,000,000 litres or

35,200 gigalitres or 35.2 teralitres. -- SJK


Just done the convesion again from scratch. I get 35,199,875,834 cubic metres. ... which is right, as there's a factor of 1000 between litres and m^3. Now I'm off to extend the Magnitude page chain to get to this point! -- Tarquin


Acre feet? acre feet? I'd never heard of them before today, and according to http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/dictA.html they are only used to measure dams. Not very useful to compare with the volumes of other things. -- Tarquin
