How much is an inch of water in Litres?
In short 1cubic foot = 144 cubic inches = 0.62 gallons (for one inch of water) = 2.36 litres.
How do you calculate inches of rain?

How far does 1 inch of rain penetrate the ground?
between 6 and 15 inches
One inch of water should penetrate the soil somewhere between 6 and 15 inches deep. But your soil type can dramatically affect this. Clay soils, which are denser, won’t be as deeply penetrated by a 1-inch rain event as loamy and sandy soils.

How Much Rain Can You Catch?
- Measure the square footage of the collection area (for example a roof that is 30 feet wide x 50 feet long = 1500 ft2)
- Multiply the area by the amount of rain in inches.
- Multiply that number by 0.623 (that is the quantity of water in gallons one inch deep in one square foot of space)
What is 1cm rain?
1 cm of rainfall means that a volume of water equal to 10 L has fallen over an area of 1 m²; ergo, the basic conversation for rainfall depth (say mm) to volume is: 1 mm of rainfall depth equates to 1 L of rainwater per m².
