I greininni er rætt um rúmmál Grímsvatna-
hlaupa og kornist að þeirri niðurstöðu, að sú
tala sem venjulega er notuð um hlauprúmmál-
ið sé of há. 1 reikningum í þessari grein er
rúmmál Grímsvatnahlaupa talið 2 km3 og sú
stærð notuð til útreikninga á aurburði. Ovissa
í rennslismælingum er rædd og ástæður þeirra.
