What does one acre-inch represent?

One acre-inch is the volume covering one acre to a depth of one inch, equivalent to 3,630 cubic feet or approximately 102.79 cubic meters.

Why is the dekaliter used for volume measurements?

Dekaliters express medium-scale liquid volumes conveniently, where liters are too small and cubic meters too large.

In which fields is this volume conversion most commonly applied?

This conversion is used in agriculture for irrigation and pond storage, in water resource management, and industries like brewing for batch volume measurements.

Examples

2 acre-inches equal 20558.030625792 dekaliters.
0.5 acre-inch equals 5139.507656448 dekaliters.

Common Use Cases

Estimating irrigation water volume needed for agricultural fields.
Measuring storage capacity for ponds or agricultural reservoirs.
Reporting water allocations and transfers in water management contexts.

Tips & Best Practices

Use consistent units when planning irrigation or storage calculations.
Be mindful of the acre-inch's basis on imperial area units when applying in metric environments.
Choose dekaliters for medium-scale volumes when liters or cubic meters are less practical.

Limitations

Acre-inch unit depends on the assumption of uniform one-inch depth over one acre.
Dekaliters may not be ideal for extremely large or very small volume measurements.
Rounding during conversions can impact precision in sensitive water rights calculations.
