How much runoff can there possibly be from Cocoa Beach?
This is a simple mathematical equation if we multiply the rainfall over all of the area where rain can't soak in. If we conservatively assume that only 40% of the rain does not percolate into the ground - turns into runoff - then a 1-inch rainfall will translate into 20 million gallons of runoff flowing into our canals and lagoon.
