What is an acre-foot (US survey)?

An acre-foot (US survey) is a volume unit representing the water required to cover one acre to a depth of one US survey foot, equal to 43,560 cubic US survey feet or approximately 1,233.5 cubic meters.

When should I convert acre-feet to teraliters?

This conversion is useful when comparing or integrating local water volumes with very large-scale water bodies or hydrological data expressed in teraliters.

What does one teraliter represent?

One teraliter (TL) equals one trillion liters or one billion cubic meters, typically used for measuring very large volumes such as lakes or regional water budgets.

Common Use Cases

Measuring water stored in reservoirs and dams
Reporting irrigation water deliveries and agricultural water rights
Planning regional or municipal annual water supplies
Describing volumes of large lakes or ice sheets at a cubic-kilometre scale
Quantifying large industrial or geological volumes such as CO2 storage

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter when comparing local water volumes with large-scale hydrological inventories
Be mindful that the converted values may be very small fractions due to unit scale differences
Confirm the accuracy needed if working in precise hydrological or scientific contexts

Limitations

Acre-foot (US survey) represents a much smaller volume than a teraliter, resulting in very small converted values
Variations in survey foot definitions can affect conversion precision
Teraliters are not commonly used in everyday measurements, limiting this tool to specialized applications
