What does one gallon (US)/hour represent?

It is a volumetric flow rate indicating how many US liquid gallons pass a point each hour, commonly used in non‑SI contexts.

Why convert from gal (US)/hour to acre-foot/year?

This conversion translates smaller-scale flow rates often used in fuel and dosing into large-scale water volume flows important for resource planning and management.

Are there any inaccuracies in this conversion?

Yes, small inaccuracies can occur due to differences in unit conventions and the assumption of continuous flow over a full year.

How to Convert from Gallon (US)/hour to Acre-foot/year

Easily convert flow rates from US gallons per hour (gal (US)/h) to acre-feet per year (ac*ft/y) using a straightforward unit conversion tool designed for water resource and flow management.

Useful for applications in water resource management, agriculture, and fuel consumption
Simple interface for quick, accurate flow rate translation
Browser-based tool requiring no installation or specialized knowledge

Examples

10 gal (US)/h converts to 0.2688331 ac*ft/y
50 gal (US)/h converts to 1.3441655 ac*ft/y

Common Use Cases

Calculating fuel burn rates for small aircraft, marine engines, and portable generators
Specifying flow rates for small pumps, chemical dosing, and condensate removal systems
Water resource planning and reservoir yield estimation
Allocating surface water and irrigation water rights for agricultural districts
Municipal water supply accounting and demand forecasting over long periods

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure continuous flow conditions are assumed when using the converted values
Use this conversion for annual or long-term flow analysis rather than short-term variation
Confirm unit conventions to avoid confusion between US gallons and other gallon types
Apply the conversion results to support water resource management and planning activities

Limitations

Assumes steady flow sustained throughout the entire year, which may not represent actual seasonal or transient changes
Minor inaccuracies can arise due to unit convention differences and SI approximations
