What is an acre-foot (US survey)?

An acre-foot (US survey) is a unit of volume equal to the amount of water covering one acre to a depth of one US survey foot, equivalent to 43,560 cubic US survey feet.

What is a picoliter (pL)?

A picoliter is a metric unit of volume equal to 10⁻¹² liters, used to measure extremely small volumes in scientific and engineering contexts.

Why would I convert acre-foot to picoliter?

This conversion helps link large-scale water volume measurements with tiny liquid volumes needed in fields such as microfluidics and molecular biology.
