Irricad

Is it possible to make a module that can calculate the volume of a pond based on the perimeter and depth? Depth can come from copied perimeter lines converted to elevations

Hi Greg,

While this is possible we feel introducing a module to do these calculations is beyond the scope of IRRICAD and is unlikely to be added.

However it would be possible to do this calculation manually in IRRICAD if the perimeter of the pond remains on the same contour level. One method could be by calculating the mean depth and multiplying by the area. The mean depth could be calculated by placing a grid of elevations from within the pond area. If you would like more details of how to do this feel free to email us.
