What does 1 cubic yard per minute represent?

It represents a volumetric flow rate where one cubic yard of volume passes a point every minute.

Why use acre-foot per day units?

Acre-foot per day is commonly used in water-resources engineering to express flow corresponding to the volume covering one acre to a depth of one foot each day.

Is the conversion rate constant?

Yes, the fixed conversion rate is 1 cubic yard/minute equals approximately 0.8925584133 acre-foot/day.

What Is This Tool?

This tool helps convert flow measurements from cubic yard per minute, a volume rate used mainly in civil and marine engineering, to acre-foot per day, which is common in water-resources and irrigation planning.

How to Use This Tool?

Input the amount in cubic yard/minute you want to convert.
Select the conversion to acre-foot per day.
Click convert to get the equivalent flow rate in acre-foot/day.

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rates between cubic yard/minute and acre-foot/day.
Provides easy-to-understand conversion using a precise conversion rate.
Useful for applications in civil engineering, irrigation, and water management.

Examples

5 cubic yards/minute equals 4.4627920665 acre-foot/day.
10 cubic yards/minute equals 8.925584133 acre-foot/day.

Common Use Cases

Specifying discharge rates for large pumps in civil and marine engineering.
Calculating irrigation delivery rates for agricultural water districts.
Evaluating reservoir inflows and municipal surface water withdrawals.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistent time units since this conversion compares flow per minute to flow per day.
Use this conversion to facilitate communication between industries using customary and water-resources measurement units.
Remember to consider regional variations in customary units when applying results.

Limitations

Conversion assumes stable density and temperature, typically for water flow, which may not hold for all materials.
Unit definitions based on customary measures can vary by region.
Time differences (minute vs. day) require careful attention for accurate interpretation.
