    Hey, I found this formula from The Rain Catcher Inc. I'll add a note at the bottom. Take care and well done sir!
    An inch of rainfall on a square foot of surface area yields .623 gallons. So, multiply .623 gallons by the number of surface square feet of your roof. In our example it would be .623 x 2,000, which equals 1,246. So for each inch of rainfall, your roof could collect 1,246 gallons of rainwater.
    Note: divide this number by the number of downspouts you have. That's how many gallons will be going into your RB when it rains an inch. Holy cow, adds up fast! For this reason we've gotta plan for overflow, right?
