What does one acre-foot per year represent?

It represents the volume of one acre covered to a depth of one foot delivered or used over a year.

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

To express large, long-term water volumes in smaller, precise units relevant to laboratory or technical applications.

Is milliliter/second suitable for measuring large flows?

Milliliter/second is best for small, instantaneous flow rates and may not be practical for large-volume flows without scaling.

Key Terminology

Acre-foot/year [ac*ft/y]: A flow rate unit describing the volume of one acre-foot delivered or used over one year.
Milliliter/second [mL/s]: A metric unit indicating one milliliter of fluid passing a point each second, used for small fluid flows.
Flow rate: The volume of fluid moving through a point or system per unit of time.

Quick Knowledge Check

What does an acre-foot per year measure?

Instantaneous small liquid flow

Volume of one acre covered to a depth of one foot over a year

Metric unit for gas flow

Which unit is best for small precise flow rates?

Acre-foot/year

Milliliter/second

Cubic meters per year

Why might direct conversion between acre-foot/year and milliliter/second be challenging?

Because acre-foot/year measures small volumes

Due to the large difference in flow magnitude and time scales

Units represent the same scale and require no conversion
