What does gallon (UK)/second mean?

It is a volumetric flow representing one imperial gallon passing a point each second, where one imperial gallon equals 4.54609 litres.

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

To translate short-term flow rates into long-term volumetric flow quantities relevant for water resource planning and management.

Can this conversion reflect intermittent flows accurately?

No, the conversion assumes continuous flow over a full year, so it may not capture seasonal or intermittent variations well.

Provides definition and use cases for both units.
Includes examples for quick reference.
Useful for water supply, irrigation, and reservoir planning.
Web-based interface requiring no software installation.

Examples

2 gallon (UK)/second converts to approximately 232.4556656028 acre-foot/year.
0.5 gallon (UK)/second converts to about 58.1139164007 acre-foot/year.

Common Use Cases

Specifying pump or meter capacities in systems using imperial units.
Reporting flows in water supply, hydrant testing, or firefighting.
Flow rate descriptions in industrial or shipboard systems.
Water resource planning and reservoir yield assessments.
Allocating irrigation water rights in agriculture districts.
Municipal or regional water demand forecasting.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure flow represents continuous operation over a full year for accurate conversion.
Double-check consistent use of unit systems when handling legacy data.
Use this tool to support long-term water resource and infrastructure planning.
Be mindful of seasonal or intermittent flows which may affect accuracy.

Limitations

Assumes steady flow over an entire year, which may not reflect real seasonal variations.
Care is needed when converting from imperial units to modern hydrologic assessments.
Small discrepancies can occur if flow rates fluctuate or if periods differ from a calendar year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does gallon (UK)/second mean?: It is a volumetric flow representing one imperial gallon passing a point each second, where one imperial gallon equals 4.54609 litres.
Why convert gallon (UK)/second to acre-foot/year?: To translate short-term flow rates into long-term volumetric flow quantities relevant for water resource planning and management.

Key Terminology

Gallon (UK)/second: A volumetric flow rate denoting one imperial gallon of fluid passing a point each second; one imperial gallon equals 4.54609 litres.
Acre-foot/year: A flow rate equal to delivery of one acre-foot of volume over one year; an acre-foot is the volume covering one acre to a depth of one foot.
