The volume of water in large scale reservoirs is often measured in units of an acre-foot, which is the amount of water covering one acre of surface to a depth of one foot. An acre-foot is equivalent to 43,560 ft³. A particular water tower in town was constructed to hold 3.75 acre-feet of water. What is the volume of water in liters that the water tower will hold? ( 1 US liquid gallon = 231 cubic inches, 3.785 liters = 1 US liquid gallon)
