About these units
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.
Cord (cd)
The cord is a large unit used in North America to measure firewood, defined as a neatly stacked pile measuring 128 cubic feet (usually arranged as 4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft). Its strict definition helps prevent fraud in firewood sales and ensures fairness in trade. The cord accounts for both wood and air space, though the amount of actual wood can vary depending on how tightly it is stacked. Despite the prevalence of metric units worldwide, the cord remains a robust standard in forestry, firewood commerce, and rural heating practices across the US and Canada.
