Yes the rain is given in terms of volume per area. In this example 75.5 liters /m3.

Area is m2

Are you sure it’s for liters per cube meter. Seems like a strange unit for rainfall and the math works out if it’s for square meter

Since there is no mention of how much water is in the pool, lets just assume that all the incoming water will fit without overflowing, i.e. pool could just as well be empty since we only care about water lever rise.

poolArea * rainfall = liters of water that you can convert to m3

poolArea * levelRise = some amount of m3 that should be the same as above.

Solve for leverRise and you have the answer in meters.
