@Nate: choose either this question or the other and I can merge them. The other question is more complete, but you can always edit this one to be complete. – robjohn Sep 08 '15 at 13:18

Convert gallons to cubic miles, and then determine the depth needed to achieve a volume of whatever 94000 gallons turns out to be in cubic miles. $$5 miles*2miles*Xmiles=94000 gallons$$

And make sure you know whether those gallons are US wet, US dry, or imperial. – Rob Arthan Sep 08 '15 at 00:08
