About these units
Acre-Foot (ac*ft)
An acre-foot represents the volume of water needed to cover one acre of land to a depth of one foot—approximately 1,233.48 cubic meters or 325,851 gallons. This unit is foundational in water resource management throughout the western United States, where large-scale irrigation, reservoir planning, and drought analysis depend on acre-foot measurements. For example, major reservoirs like Lake Mead and Lake Powell hold billions of acre-feet. In agriculture, irrigation districts track water rights and allocations using acre-feet, making it a key component of water law. Its scale is ideal for representing the enormous water needs associated with farming, urban expansion, and environmental preservation.
Acre-Inch (ac*in)
An acre-inch equals 1/12 of an acre-foot, representing the water required to cover one acre to a depth of one inch. Irrigation planners and farmers often use acre-inches to fine-tune watering schedules for crops. Because plants require precise hydration, the acre-inch allows for granular control of irrigation needed for soil management and crop health. Agronomists also use acre-inches to convert rainfall into usable water volume estimates for agricultural regions, linking meteorology with farm management.
