What does one acre-foot per year represent?

It is a flow rate describing one acre-foot of volume delivered over one year, where one acre-foot covers an area of one acre to a depth of one foot.

Why convert acre-foot/year to milliliter/hour?

This conversion helps express large, long-term water flow volumes as small, precise flow rates useful in medical, laboratory, and small-scale process control applications.

Are there any restrictions when using this conversion?

Yes, it should be noted that the conversion assumes steady continuous flow and may not suit fluctuating flows; also, careful attention to scale and precision is needed.

Displays clear conversion results for detailed monitoring or dosing
Includes examples to guide proper usage

Examples

2 acre-foot/year equals approximately 281,617.98436 milliliters per hour
0.5 acre-foot/year converts to about 70,404.49609 milliliters per hour

Common Use Cases

Planning and monitoring water resource allocations and reservoir yields
Setting precise infusion pump rates in clinical or medical environments
Controlling reagent flow rates in laboratory experiments and analytical instruments
Scheduling irrigation water deliveries for agricultural districts
Managing small-scale chemical dosing or tracer injections in environmental monitoring

Tips & Best Practices

Always ensure steady, continuous flow conditions when applying the conversion
Confirm that the scale of measurement aligns with your application’s precision needs
Interpret conversion results carefully due to large differences in volume and time scales
Use examples as a reference for expected conversion magnitudes

Key Terminology

Acre-foot/year [ac*ft/y]: A flow rate indicating one acre-foot of volume delivered or used over one year, where one acre-foot covers an area of one acre to a depth of one foot.
Milliliter/hour [mL/h]: A unit of volumetric flow rate representing the transport or dispensing of one milliliter of fluid per hour, suitable for low, precise flow rates.

Quick Knowledge Check
