With the oddball shape, you will have to make the surface area larger to get the depth, such as the design with all the fingers. For instance, a finger that is 8' deep BUT you could see a 5' water fluctuation means at full pool it has to be 13' deep, so at a max of 3:1 each finger needs to be a minimum of 78 feet wide. But it should be wider because once you reach the depth you want to have it that depth for a while, not like an inverted triangle.
