What is an acre-foot (US survey)?

An acre-foot (US survey) is a volume unit equal to the volume of water covering one acre to a depth of one US survey foot, which corresponds to 43,560 cubic US survey feet or approximately 1,233.5 cubic metres.

What does attoliter [aL] represent?

The attoliter (aL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-18 liters, suitable for describing extremely small nanoscale volumes, such as those in nanophotonics and nanofluidics.

Why convert from acre-foot (US survey) to attoliter [aL]?

This conversion helps bridge measurements between large-scale water volumes and extremely small nanoscale volumes, facilitating scientific comparisons and research spanning vastly different scales.
