What does gallon (UK)/minute measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as the number of UK gallons passing per minute, often used in engineering and plumbing contexts using imperial units.

Why convert gallon (UK)/minute to acre-foot/year?

Converting to acre-foot/year helps in water resource management by translating short-term flows into annual volumes for planning and allocation.

Can this conversion be used for US gallons?

No, this conversion is specifically for UK (imperial) gallons and should not be used interchangeably with US gallons.
