Question:One lock at The Three Gorges Dam holds 360,000 gallons of water or 6545 barrells.
How many olympic size swimming pools would one lock fill?

Answers:
Assuming a capacity as listed by the US Olympic committee listed below, the pool has a capacity of 300,000 gallons. This is for an 8 lane pool.

That means 360000/300000 which is 1.2

For a 6 lane pool, the capacity is 175,000 which is then:

360000/175000 which is 2.05
Approximately half the pool(0.54)...8 lane pool.an olympic size pool can hold about 660 gallons
