The volume of ice can be converted to the volume of water by multiplying the ice’s volume by 0.92 for water volume. This can be helpful, especially if you have a way of measuring blocks of ice or ice that has been formed within a container where you know the dimensions. Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) is the most common way to measure the amount of water that is in a given amount of snow. The “magic” number here is 10% of the volume of the snow is equal to the volume of water. Therefore, if you had a large container (such as a kid’s plastic swimming pool) filled with 2 feet of snow? Your amount of water would equal 2.4 inches, for the remaining area and volume of the pool.
