Assuming 50% conversion salt water to fresh water, reducing the depth of the Pacific Ocean by one foot would provide 518.7 billion gallons of potable water.

Remember that to do that you also have to drain all the other seas by one foot so you'd probably get an unimaginable amount of water.

This could possibly cause Guam and other islands to tip over.
