How to estimate a volume of a fountain?

Fountain looks something like this: https://acropolis-greece.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/acropolis-sourceofcoolnes-3.jpg

And I know it's 8 meters long and 8 meters wide

Are we talking the volume of water the fountain holds or the fountain itself?

Both actually, it's for vaporization of the whole thing

Well, if you only know the length and width (assuming a circular fountain), what I would do is pixel scale the measurements of each aspect of the fountain and then break them down into easier shapes and then calculate the volume of these smaller shapes from there and then add them up in the end. The fountain in the image is really just a series of cylinders stacked on top of each other, though you'll need to keep other shapes in mind.

Gotcha, that seems good for the fountain. What abt the water though?

The water is just measuring the volume at the base, so just get the cylindrical volume of the hole (which you can get by pixel scaling anyway
