What does 1 acre-foot/year represent?

It represents a flow rate where one acre-foot of water volume passes during one year, equivalent to covering one acre area to a depth of one foot.

Why convert from acre-foot/year to milliliter/day?

To translate large-scale flow rates used in water resource management into very small, precise flow units appropriate for clinical, laboratory, and environmental monitoring.

Can this conversion handle transient flow conditions?

No, the conversion assumes a continuous steady flow over the time periods, so it might not accurately represent transient or varying flows.

Examples

Convert 2 acre-foot/year to milliliter/day: 2 × 3,379,415.81 = 6,758,831.62 mL/day
Convert 0.5 acre-foot/year to milliliter/day: 0.5 × 3,379,415.81 = 1,689,707.91 mL/day

Common Use Cases

Planning and managing water resources and reservoir yields
Allocating surface water and irrigation rights for agriculture
Long-term accounting of municipal or regional water supplies
Clinical monitoring of daily fluid outputs, such as urine volume
Reporting small-volume drug delivery or infusion rates
Measuring minor leak or seepage rates in laboratories or environmental tests

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure continuous steady flow assumptions align with your measurement scenario
Use the converter for translating large-scale environmental flows into smaller units carefully
Double-check large or very small converted values for precision handling
Apply the tool for contexts requiring both large and very small volumetric flow rate understanding
Consult relevant measurement practices when dealing with transient or varying flow conditions

Limitations

Suitable for large volumes over long periods versus very small daily flows — scales can produce very large or very small numbers
The conversion assumes steady continuous flow, which may not reflect transient or fluctuating conditions accurately
Requires careful numeric handling to avoid errors due to extreme value ranges

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 acre-foot/year represent?: It represents a flow rate where one acre-foot of water volume passes during one year, equivalent to covering one acre area to a depth of one foot.
Why convert from acre-foot/year to milliliter/day?: To translate large-scale flow rates used in water resource management into very small, precise flow units appropriate for clinical, laboratory, and environmental monitoring.

Key Terminology

Acre-foot/year [ac*ft/y]: A flow rate unit representing one acre-foot volume passed or used over one year, commonly used in water resource management.
Milliliter/day [mL/d]: A volumetric flow unit indicating the movement or consumption of one milliliter per day, ideal for very low continuous or cumulative flows.
Flow rate: The volume of fluid that passes through a given surface per unit of time.
