What does one acre-foot represent?

One acre-foot is the volume of water covering one acre of land to a depth of one foot, equal to 43,560 cubic feet.

What is a stere used for?

A stere is a metric volume unit equal to one cubic metre, typically used to measure stacked wood or bulk materials.

Why would I convert acre-feet to stere?

Converting acre-feet to stere helps compare water volumes in a metric format useful for forestry, wood-processing, and commercial logistics.

Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in stere.

Key Features

Converts volume from acre-foot to stere accurately based on established equivalence.
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required.
Supports practical applications in water resource and forestry industries.

Examples

2 acre-feet converts to approximately 2466.96 stere.
0.5 acre-foot converts to about 616.74 stere.

Common Use Cases

Managing reservoir and lake storage capacities in water resources.
Planning irrigation water deliveries in agricultural contexts.
Estimating volumes of stacked firewood and timber in forestry.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you use this conversion when expressing large water volumes in metric cubic meters.
Use the tool to relate water volume units to those commonly used in forestry and wood-processing.
Remember the unit differences when comparing liquid water volume to stacked solid materials.

Limitations

Acre-foot measures water volume spread over land, while stere measures volume of stacked materials, so they may not reflect material density.
The conversion assumes volume equivalence without accounting for physical state or material handling differences.
Use caution when applying this conversion to contexts where density or composition affect volume interpretation.
