What does cubic inch per second measure?

It measures the amount of volume in cubic inches passing a point every second, typically used for small flow rates in imperial units.

What is an acre-foot per hour used for?

It quantifies large volumetric flow rates, such as water movement in reservoirs, irrigation canals, and municipal supply systems.

Why convert cubic inch/second to acre-foot/hour?

To translate small-scale flow data into larger-scale units for water resource management and irrigation planning.
