What does the gallon (US)/minute measure?

It measures volumetric flow as the number of US liquid gallons passing a point per minute, often used in plumbing and fuel transfer.

What is an acre-foot per hour?

An acre-foot per hour is a flow rate representing one acre-foot of water volume passing a point each hour, commonly used in large-scale water management.

Why convert from gallon (US)/minute to acre-foot/hour?

To translate small-scale flow measurements into units applicable to reservoir management and large irrigation systems.
