Transcribed Image Text:**Exercise: Computing Reservoir Capacity**
Objective: Compute the reservoir capacity (in acre-feet) between the highest and lowest contours for areas on a topographic map.
**Data Table:**
| Elevation (ft) | Area (ft²) |
|----------------|------------|
| 860 | 1370 |
| 870 | 1660 |
| 880 | 2293 |
| 890 | 2950 |
| 900 | 3550 |
| 910 | 4605 |
Instructions:
Use the given elevation and corresponding area data to determine the reservoir capacity. The objective is to calculate the volume of water that can be stored between the highest and lowest contour levels shown.
