What does one acre-inch represent?

One acre-inch is the volume of material or liquid covering one acre of land to a uniform depth of one inch, equaling 3,630 cubic feet.

Why convert acre-inches to cubic feet?

Converting to cubic feet allows easier communication and standardized quantification of volumes in engineering, agriculture, and water management contexts.

Can this tool be used for flow rate conversions?

No, this conversion only provides a volume measurement and does not address flow rates or temporal water distribution.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms volume values from acre-inch, a unit measuring water or material volumes over one acre to a depth of one inch, into cubic feet, a common volume measurement in engineering and trade.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in acre-inch units.
Select acre-inch as the starting unit and cubic foot as the target unit.
Click the convert button to view the equivalent volume in cubic feet.
Use the results to inform irrigation planning, pond storage calculations, or water rights management.

Key Features

Converts volume from acre-inch [ac*in] to cubic foot [ft^3].
Uses a fixed conversion rate where 1 acre-inch equals 3,630 cubic feet.
Provides clear examples for practical understanding.
Browser-based and easy to use without installation.
Supports volume conversions commonly used in agriculture and engineering.

Examples

Convert 2 acre-inch: 2 × 3,630 = 7,260 cubic feet.
Convert 0.5 acre-inch: 0.5 × 3,630 = 1,815 cubic feet.

Common Use Cases

Estimating water volumes needed for irrigation over farmland.
Calculating storage capacity for agricultural ponds or reservoirs.
Communicating water allocations in agricultural water management systems.
Quantifying volumes in environmental engineering related to pond design.
Facilitating water rights negotiations and reporting.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the area measured is exactly one acre for accurate acre-inch calculations.
Use this conversion for volume estimation, not for time-based flow rate measurements.
Verify the uniformity of water depth when applying acre-inch values.
Always double-check entered values for precise unit conversions.
Leverage this conversion for engineering and environmental planning documentation.

Limitations

An acre-inch presumes a consistent one-inch depth over exactly one acre, which may not reflect actual terrain variations.
Conversion results provide volume but do not include information about water flow rates or timing.
The tool does not account for non-uniform water distribution or temporal changes.
It is intended solely for volume unit conversion purposes.
