Is there a pond water depth volume calculator or graphing freeware tool
extent?

We measured the irregular pond depth across 60 feet long by about 20 feet
wide at 3 feet intervals.

Is there a pond volume calculator we can plug the numbers into. The pond
can be assumed to be roughly rectangular and the bottom has a few slopes.

Take the average of the 20 depth intervals, multiply that average by
1200 (60x20) and that is the pond volume in Cu Ft. That is as close
as you are going to get with those kinds of measurements and slopes.

1. If you can write the equation for the bottom surface, integral calculus
should easily discover the answer.

2. Can you drain the pond?

2-A. If so, add 10 gallons of water at a time until the entire bottom is
covered. Measure the depth to this surface. Total volume, then, is:

[Depth(in feet) x 60 x 20] + [Amount of cu ft water to cover irregular
bottom]

2-B. Fill the pond with a hose that has a flow meter attached.
