I believe an acre can measure about 208' by 208' which equals 43,264 sq. feet.

So you have 94' x 245' which equals 23,030 sq. feet.

So maybe a little over a 1/2 acre.

This is just for area. No consideration of units of water.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
