If my conversion factors and calculations are correct:
The area of one acre is defined as 66 by 660 feet then the volume of an acre-foot is exactly 43560 cubic feet. Alternatively, this is approximately 325,851.4 U.S. gallons. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acre-foot)
Lake Martin encompasses 39,180 acres.
With this, 325,851 x 3 = 977,553 gallons per acre of surface area 3 feet deep.
977,553 x 39,180 acres = 38,300,526,540 gallons for the recent three-foot rise.
Maybe there is an engineer among us that can confirm, or correct this.
