Question from Joyce: Please help me with this question. |
Hi Joyce,
One hectare is 10,000 square meters and 1 millimeter is $\large \frac{1}{1000}$ meters so 5 mm of rain on one hectare produces a volume of
\[10,000 \times \frac{5}{1000} = 50 \mbox{ cubic meters.}\]
How much does 1 cubic meter of water weigh? Ask Google.
