What does 1 gallon (UK)/second represent?

It is a volumetric flow rate indicating one imperial gallon passing a point every second, where one imperial gallon equals 4.54609 liters.

Why convert gallon (UK)/second to acre-foot/day?

This conversion helps relate flow measurements in UK imperial units to those used in water resources and irrigation management for better planning and reporting.

Is acre-foot/day suitable for small-scale flow measurements?

Typically, acre-foot/day is applied to large-scale flows, so its use for very small flows might be less practical or meaningful.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change flow measurements from gallon (UK) per second, an imperial unit used in UK-based systems, to acre-foot per day, a volumetric flow rate used in water resources and agricultural irrigation.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in gallon (UK)/second.
Select gallon (UK)/second as the input unit and acre-foot/day as the output unit.
Initiate the conversion to retrieve the equivalent flow in acre-foot/day.

Key Features

Converts flow rates between gallon (UK)/second and acre-foot/day units.
Useful for integrating measurements from UK imperial systems with water resource management units.
Browser-based and easy to use for various industries including agriculture and municipal water management.

Examples

5 gallon (UK)/second equals approximately 1.592 acre-foot/day.
10 gallon (UK)/second equals approximately 3.184 acre-foot/day.

Common Use Cases

Specifying pump or meter capacities in systems using imperial UK units.
Planning irrigation delivery rates in agricultural districts by converting to acre-foot/day.
Reporting reservoir and river flow volumes for water resources management.
Sizing and accounting for municipal or industrial surface-water withdrawals using consistent units.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady flow conditions when performing conversions for accuracy.
Use this tool to compare or integrate flow data across different unit systems effectively.
Recognize that acre-foot/day is suited for large-scale flows and may be less meaningful for very small flow rates.

Limitations

Conversion assumes uniform and steady flow; transient fluctuations may affect results.
Small flow rates converted to acre-foot/day may not provide practical insights.
Differences in measurement standards can influence conversion accuracy.
