Formula
1st one
Roof Area (ft2) X Precipitation Amount (in) X 0.623 = Amount of water Collected (gallons)
Amount of water Collected(liter) = Amount of water Collected (gallons)
/0.264172
Amount of water Collected (m3) = mount of water Collected (gallons) x 0.00378541
2nd one
Roof Area (m2) X Precipitation Amount (mm) = Amount of water Collected (liters)
Amount of water Collected (gallons) = Amount of water Collected (liters)
x 0.264172
Amount of water Collected (m3) = Amount of water Collected (liters)
