What is an acre-inch used to measure?

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

Why convert acre-inches to cubic meters?

Converting to cubic meters standardizes water volume measurements for scientific, engineering, and industrial applications.

Can this conversion be used for irregular terrains?

This conversion assumes uniform depth, so it may not accurately reflect volumes over irregular topographies.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts volumes from acre-inch, a unit used mainly in agriculture to measure water volume over large surface areas, to cubic meters, the standard SI volume measurement used in science and engineering.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in acre-inch you wish to convert.
Select acre-inch as the source unit and cubic meter as the target unit.
Initiate the conversion to obtain the volume in cubic meters.

Key Features

Converts volume units from acre-inch to cubic meter accurately based on established conversion rates.
Provides clear examples to help users understand conversion calculations.
Supports applications in irrigation planning, reservoir storage, and water resource management.

Examples

2 acre-inches is equivalent to 205.580306258 cubic meters.
0.5 acre-inch converts to 51.395076565 cubic meters.

Common Use Cases

Estimating required water volume for irrigation across fields.
Determining storage capacity of agricultural ponds and reservoirs.
Communicating water allocations in agricultural water management.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the depth is uniform when interpreting acre-inch volumes for accurate conversion.
Use the tool for scientific and engineering contexts requiring standard metric measurements.
Consider the large unit size when applying conversions to avoid significant errors in precise calculations.

Limitations

The acre-inch unit assumes uniform depth and is mainly relevant within agricultural contexts.
Conversion accuracy may be affected by irregular surface topography or non-uniform depth.
Small errors in measurement can notably impact volumetric results due to the unit's large scale.
