What is an acre-inch used for?

An acre-inch measures the volume of liquid covering one acre to a depth of one inch, commonly used in irrigation planning and water management.

What does a cab (Biblical) measure?

A cab is an ancient Hebrew dry volume unit used to measure grain, oil, and other commodities in biblical and rabbinic contexts.

Why is converting between acre-inch and cab (Biblical) challenging?

Because acre-inch measures liquid volume over an area and cab measures dry volumes with varying definitions, conversions can involve uncertainty and context considerations.
