625 Billion....

[SteveA]

Gallons of water is Lake Winnipesaukee.

That number comes from this site: http://www.winnipesaukee.org/watershed-facts.htm

While waiting for "something good" to happen with the sky at Sunset last night, I spotted the setting sun making the waves and water that where washing up on the Lake Shore Park beach look pretty cool..

So anyway.. here's what about 100 or so Gallons of the 625 Billion total looked like last night in the setting sun. :D

6169

If your number of 625 X 10(9) gallons is correct, then by my sliderule that makes it 12.9 X 10(37) molecules of H2O in this great lake of ours. Now to recalculate for today's rain.

... Better add a little more, my granddaughter peed in the lake the other day. (she's only 2 and didn't mean any harm... ) :)

This is outrageous! Do you know the chemical composition of human pee? The whole lake should be drained immediately! Oh the humanity!!

Side note to you Steve: remove this entire post before your granddaughter is able to read it. She will be so embarassed that she may not talk to you for months.:laugh:

Not to worry, I suspect she isn't the first 2 year old, (or 50 year old) to pee in the lake. :o

Let's see, Urine:
95% H2O
Urea CH4N2O @ 9g/L
Na @1.17 g/L
K @ 0.7 g/L
Cl@1.87 g/L
and other cations and organics at lower concentrations.
No wonder why my coffee tasted a little differently lately.
