What is an acre-inch used for?

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

What applications require femtoliter measurements?

Femtoliters quantify very small volumes such as single cells, microdroplets, and nanoscale biochemical reaction volumes in fields like cell biology and microfluidics.

Why are conversions from acre-inch to femtoliter so large?

Because an acre-inch represents a very large volume while a femtoliter is an extremely small volume, converting between them results in very large numerical values.
