A one foot rise in water level |
2019-09-15 |
|
From Stuart:
If a lake were to rise one foot - how many linear feet would it spread onto the shore line ?
What is the correlation - 1 foot of a rise = 10 feet onto the shore ? Does it depend on the lake
size - if so Lake Ontario in Canada.

From Bill:
I am trying to figure out the approx. perimeter of a 22 acre lake. Can I solve this by calculating the sq. ft. in 22 acres and then take the square foot to find out the sides of a 22 acre square and then add the sides together to get the perimeter?
