If measuring from sea level, yes.
Technically, though, it is accurate to state depth as a negative number, but unless you have been specifically told, it shouldn't matter whether you do or not.
The only exception I can think of is if you are drawing a parabola that shows the depth of a buoyant object over a period of time after being thrown or dropped in. It looks a lot neater to show a positive parabola, as a negative parabola could imply that a non-buoyant object was thrown from the bottom of a body of water.
I hope this helped, and ignore the previous paragraph if you want.

How do you determine the number of gallons of water in a round pool 25ft x 4ft?
The calculation for a ROUND pool is: Diameter x Diameter x Depth X 5.9 = Number of Gallons For example: For example, the volume of a 15-foot round pool with an actual water depth of 3 ft is: 15x15x3x5.9 = 3,982 gallons. Please note that the DEPTH is the ACTUAL water depth NOT the height of the pool wall (the water is usually around 6 inchs lower than the wall height).
