What does acre-foot/year measure?

Acre-foot/year is a flow rate describing the volume of one acre-foot of water delivered or used over a year, where one acre-foot represents the volume covering one acre to a depth of one foot.

Why convert acre-foot/year to gallon (US)/minute?

Converting to gallon (US)/minute translates long-term volume flow into a practical, immediate flow rate useful for operational management, irrigation scheduling, and equipment specification.

Is the conversion affected by local volume unit differences?

Yes, differences in US gallon definitions and local unit standards should be considered when applying the conversion results.

Measuring fuel or liquid transfer rates in automotive applications.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the flow rate represents a continuous steady flow over a full year for accuracy.
Use this conversion to plan water delivery schedules and equipment specifications.
Be aware of differences in US gallon definitions (liquid vs. dry) when comparing results.
Consider the tool reliable for translating annual volume flow rates into meaningful minute-based rates.

Limitations

The conversion assumes continuous steady flow over a year and does not reflect short-term or intermittent variations.
Differences between liquid and dry US gallon definitions or local unit variations may affect accuracy.
