1mm rain means that every square meter covered with water with the height of 1mm.
One meter is 1000mm, so the total volume is 1000 x 1000 x 1 = 10^6 cubic mm or 10^3 cubic cm or 1 cubic dm, which is one liter.
So for every mm of rain you get one liter per square meter.
200 m^2 by 1 mm you get 200 liters
100 mm means you get 200 * 100 liters =20000 liters= 20 m^3
diameter of tank = 4 m
radius = 2m
height of water = h
Volume = pi * r^2 * h
20 = pi * 2^2*h
20/4pi = h
15.07 m
1507 cm
