How to calculate the Quantity of water in a Rectangular tank?
Introduction
-
Storage tanks are constructed for storing water, liquid petroleum, petroleum products & merchandise and similar & comparable liquids.
-
Designed as crack free structures to eliminate any leakage.
-
Permeability of concrete is directly proportional to water cement ratio.
-
Cement content ranging from 330 Kg/m3 to 530 Kg/m3 is recommended in order to keep shrinkage low.
We will be determining the capacity of the Rectangular Water Tank by an example.

How to calculate the Quantity of water in a Rectangular tank?
These are engineering drawings of a simple water tank. It is just a Rectangular water tank and remember the process in this method can be the same for all types of water tank; it does not matter if it's overhead water tank or underground water tank.
Remember the capacity of the tank can be calculated in terms of volume (meters) and if we multiply the volume with 1000, we can get the capacity of the tank in liters.
Now area of the base can be taken as area which is covered by the water mass and the depth is the same which is given in the drawing.
So, volume of tank
= L * B * H
(For rectangular tanks)
So, volume of tank
= ⊼ x d²/4 *depth
(For circular Tanks)
As per drawing, the tank is rectangular, so formula used will be
So, volume of tank
= L * B * H
Here,
Depth of tank = 3000 mm as per above drawing
Length of tank = 10000 mm as per above drawing
Breadth of tank = 4000 mm as per above drawing
∴
Tank’s volume
= 10000 x 4000 x 3000 mm3
= 120000000000 mm3
In cubic meter = 120 m3
|
As in 1 m = 1000 mm |
Also, we know that the water is measured in liters not in cubic meter.
∴
|
In 1 Cubic Meter = 1000 liters |
∴
Tank’s volume = 120 * 1000
= 1, 20,000 liters
In case f gallon,
|
Gallon (gal) |
Liter (L) |
|
1 |
3.78541 |
∴ ,
Volume of Tank (Gallon)
= 120000 / 3.78541
= 31700.66 gal

What is written at the partitions that Mohammed bin Salman scanned with clips of washing the Kaaba?
Activists on social media circulated films and pictures of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the same time as he washes the Kaaba. In the films and photos circulating, graffiti seemed at the partitions that seemed to the Saudi Crown Prince at the same time as he becomes wiping them, inclusive of what King Salman bin Abdulaziz directed the preservation work, which included “paving the floor of the Kaaba with marble, growing waterproofing, treating the wood factors of the ceiling and columns, and keeping the Kaaba door.
The supervisor, the door of the internal staircase, and the gutter.” Among the alternative writings that seemed simple at the circulating video web website online had been the directives of the past due Saudi monarch, King Khalid bin Abdulaziz, to "renew the cord of the Kaaba within the 12 months 1397 AH.
" The reliable Saudi Press Agency said that some of the personalities followed the Crown Prince to scrub the Kaaba, inclusive of "Prince Said bin Nagar bin Said bin Abdulaziz, Governor of Tail, Prince Said bin Abdullah bin Malawi, Governor of Jeddah, member of the Council of Senior Scholars Sheikh Dr. Sale bin Abdullah bin Humid, and a member of the Council of Senior Scholars." Senior Scholars Sheikh Dr. Abdullah bin Muhammad Al-Mutlaq, member of the Council of Senior Scholars Sheikh Dr. Saad bin Nasser Al-Shathri, and member of the Council of Senior Scholars Sheikh Dr. Bandar bin Abdulaziz Balila and the guardians of the Sacred House of God.
