Another quantity we need to know is the flow rate, Q. This was not given in the problem statement, but we may expect that such information would be available. Let's suppose we found out that at the time the flow was cut off, the reservoir had a flow exiting it at 89,880 gallons per day.
If we want to keep all units in terms of days and feet, what would the flow rate be in terms of thousands of ft3/day? (Use: 1 ft3 = 7.49 gallons.)
