Typically this is found to be one-third of the original volume of the water and hence the ratio is determined as 1:3.

But it is not correct to believe that this provides all the answers, and nor does it reflect the reasoning by which the 1:3 ratio was historically specified.

Shouldn't it be 1:6? I'm Confused. Can anyone elaborate it?
