What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms flow measurements from acre-foot per day, a large-volume water flow unit, into hundred-cubic foot per day, which is suited for smaller flow rates. It helps users manage and compare various flow volumes efficiently.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in acre-foot/day that you want to convert
-
Select the target unit: hundred-cubic foot/day
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow rate
-
Review results for engineering, utility, or operational planning
Key Features
-
Converts volumetric flow rates between acre-foot/day and hundred-cubic foot/day
-
Supports water resource and hydraulic engineering units
-
Handles both large water volumes and smaller gas or liquid flows
-
Clear, browser-based interface for quick calculations
Examples
-
2 acre-foot/day converts to 871.20348481 hundred-cubic foot/day
-
0.5 acre-foot/day converts to 217.8008712026 hundred-cubic foot/day
Common Use Cases
-
Irrigation delivery rate specifications for agricultural districts
-
Reporting reservoir or river inflows and outflows
-
Sizing municipal or industrial surface-water withdrawals
-
Tracking small natural gas well production rates
-
Expressing utility gas consumption and small metered flows
-
Engineering calculations for groundwater or wastewater flows
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify unit selection matches your flow scale to avoid errors
-
Use conversion for daily flow rates to maintain consistency
-
Double-check input values for accurate engineering applications
-
Understand the context of water versus gas flow measurements
Limitations
-
Acre-foot/day applies to large water volumes; hundred-cubic foot/day suits smaller flows
-
Conversion assumes steady flow over a full day, not short-term fluctuations
-
Choosing the correct unit is vital for precise reporting and planning
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one acre-foot/day represent?
-
It represents a volume of water spread over one acre to a depth of one foot delivered or removed each day.
-
Why convert to hundred-cubic foot/day?
-
To express large flows in more manageable smaller units, especially useful for gas or small water flows.
-
Can this converter handle short-term flow changes?
-
No, it assumes consistent daily flow rates and may not capture short-term variations.
Key Terminology
-
Acre-foot/day
-
Volumetric flow rate representing one acre-foot of water delivered or removed each day.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/day
-
Flow rate equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, used for smaller-scale flows.
-
Volumetric flow rate
-
The volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit of time.
