What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to transform volumes measured in ccf, a unit commonly used by utilities for water and natural gas, into acre-foot (US survey), a larger volume unit used in water resource management and irrigation planning.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in ccf that you want to convert
-
Select the target unit as acre-foot (US survey)
-
Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent volume
-
Review the results, which reflect standard water volume measurements
-
Use the converted value to assist with water resource or utility management tasks
Key Features
-
Converts ccf (hundred cubic feet) to acre-foot (US survey) volume units
-
Utilizes a precise conversion rate based on US customary measurements
-
Supports utility billing, water management, and agricultural planning applications
-
Browser-based and easy to use with straightforward input and output
-
Example conversions provided for clarity and understanding
Examples
-
100 ccf equals 0.22956703 acre-foot (US survey)
-
500 ccf equals 1.14783515 acre-foot (US survey)
Common Use Cases
-
Translating residential or commercial water meter readings reported in ccf to larger scale water volume units
-
Integrating utility-scale water consumption data with agricultural irrigation management
-
Measuring water volumes stored in reservoirs and dams for resource planning
-
Planning municipal or regional water supply and consumption based on accurate volume conversions
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure volume inputs are accurately measured in ccf before converting
-
Use this tool as part of broader water resource management and planning
-
Confirm the unit definitions fit the regional measurement standards to maintain consistency
-
Apply the conversion results to support water billing, irrigation rights, or storage calculations
Limitations
-
Conversion is based on US customary units and may not suit metric or international acre-foot definitions
-
Small differences between US survey feet and international feet can affect results in large-scale calculations
-
Conversion to acre-foot (US survey) is specific to water volume and is not applicable for natural gas measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ccf stand for and where is it commonly used?
-
Ccf stands for hundred cubic feet and is commonly used by utilities to measure water and natural gas volumes.
-
What is an acre-foot (US survey)?
-
An acre-foot (US survey) is a unit of volume equal to the amount of water needed to cover one acre of land to a depth of one US survey foot.
-
Can this converter be used for natural gas volume conversions?
-
This converter focuses on water volume and conversions involving natural gas should be used with caution, as acre-foot (US survey) specifically refers to water volume.
