How to calculate circular water tank capacity? It is requested to choose an appropriate size for a circular water tank to collect 20000 litres water for a residential property. Take into consideration that tank depth must not be over 2 meters. Experiment 1: In case depth = 0.5 m in that case diameter =? Experiment 2: In case depth = 1 m in that case diameter =? Experiment 3: In case depth = 1.5 m in that case diameter =? Experiment 4: In case depth = 2 m in that case diameter =? Tank capacity = 20000 litres of water Overall tank capacity = 20000/1000 = 20 m 3  [as 1 m 3  is equal to 1000 litres] Tank volume = Area of base x tank height or depth 20 m 3  = πD 2 /4 x d In case depth = 0.5 m 20 m 3  = πD 2 /4 x 0.5 m = 20 m 3  = 0.393(D) 2 20 m 3 /0.393 = 0.393(D) 2 /0.393 50.90 = D 2 √50.90 = square root ((D) 2 ) D = 7 meters In case depth = 1 m in that case diameter = 5 meters In case depth = 1.5 m in that case diameter = 4.12 me...
