What is a centiliter used for?

A centiliter is used to measure small volumes, commonly for food, beverages, recipes, and laboratory samples where coarse precision is sufficient.

What does an acre-foot (US survey) measure?

An acre-foot (US survey) measures the volume of water covering one acre of area to a depth of one US survey foot, commonly used in water resource management.

Why convert centiliters to acre-foot (US survey)?

This conversion helps translate small liquid measurements into large-scale water volumes needed for reservoir capacity, irrigation, and municipal water planning.
