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.
Ton Register (ton reg)
A register ton, or ton register, is a unit of volume, not mass, equal to 100 cubic feet. It is used in maritime contexts to measure the internal capacity of ships—specifically cargo-carrying volume, not weight. Ship registries rely on register tons to calculate taxes, port fees, and cargo classifications. The unit dates back to 19th-century maritime law, where consistent volumetric measurement was critical for international shipping regulation. Despite changes in global trade and containerization, register tons remain important for historical vessel documentation, as well as for understanding older merchant and naval ship specifications.
