What is an acre-foot (US survey) used for?

It is a volume measurement used primarily for managing water in reservoirs, agricultural irrigation, and municipal water supply planning.

When would I use exaliter [EL] as a volume unit?

Exaliter is appropriate for expressing extremely large volumes, such as planetary ocean volumes or large atmospheric gas reservoirs.

Can I use this converter for everyday volume conversions?

While possible, exaliter units are not common in everyday use and are generally reserved for planetary or astrophysical assessments.
