I Calculated the amount of Water in Loot Lake

13,716,037.24 Gallons or 51,921,948.7 Liters

I made a video describing my method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy11wBcX2Dk&feature=youtu.be

TL;DW

I used the formula Surface Area (Acres) * Depth(Ft) * 326,000 Gallons/acre-ft. I obtained the surface area of Loot Lake by placing brick floors along the shore and then wood floors covering Loot Lake. I found online that each tile is 5.12m x 5.12m when placed horizontally. I used a total of 22,580 mats or placed down 2,258 wooden floors which nets a total surface area of 59,192.1152m or 637,139.6253ft or 14.6267 Acres.

I also found the depth of the water by measuring the height of the water in photoshop compared to the height of the wall in the water and the height of one wall. With the wall being 3.84m, I found the wall in the water to be 1.40m and the water to be 0.8768m in depth or 2.8765 ft.

14.63 Acres * 2.88 ft * 326,000 gallons/Acre-ft = 13,716,037.24 Gallons or 51,921,948.7 Liters.

Note: This is most likely an underestimate because I did cover up a small amount of water with brick. I also didn't account for the water at the shore. I wanted to measure these by going into photoshop and finding the area by using the amount of pixels that the water occupies compared to one floor tile, but this would have taken way too long.

Edit: didn’t realize I marked this as spoiler, changed it
