Of course, the main influence on streamflow is precipitation runoff in the watershed. Rainfall causes rivers to rise, and a river can even rise if it only rains very far up in the watershed-remember that water that falls in a watershed will eventually drain by the outflow point.
One US gallon of water weighs 133.526464 ounces. The calculations for that answer are below: 1 gallon = 8.345404 pounds 1 pound = 16 ounces 8.345404 X 16 = 133.526464.
One gallon of water, at 20 degrees Celsius, weighs 8.33 pounds. A general rule of thumb used by cooks is A pint's a pound the world around.. There are 8 pints in a gallon and a gallon weighs about 8 lbs. A pint is not exactly a pound but unless you are dealing with a lot of water it won't make much difference. As stated above a gallon (8 pints) weights 8 1/3 lbs. 3 gallons (24 pints) will weigh 25 pounds, 1 pound more than you would expect.
