What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change volume measurements from cubic meters, the SI derived unit for three-dimensional space, to acre-feet, a customary unit used to measure large water volumes in water resource contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the volume value you want to convert in cubic meters
  • Select cubic meter [m^3] as the input unit
  • Choose acre-foot [ac*ft] as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent volume in acre-feet
  • Review the results and use them for your water resource or engineering calculations

Key Features

  • Converts volume units from cubic meters (m^3) to acre-feet (ac*ft)
  • Utilizes a precise conversion rate based on defined unit relationships
  • Provides examples to illustrate common volume conversions
  • Useful for water resources, agriculture, and environmental applications
  • Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required

Examples

  • 100 cubic meters equals 0.08107132 acre-foot
  • 500 cubic meters equals 0.4053566 acre-foot

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying storage capacities for water tanks, reservoirs, and containers
  • Planning and allocating irrigation water deliveries in agriculture
  • Managing and reporting reservoir and lake water volumes
  • Expressing regional or municipal water supply amounts
  • Conducting engineering calculations involving volume and mass relationships

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always confirm the units before conversion to avoid errors
  • Use this tool when switching between SI and customary volume units
  • Apply the conversion for standard conditions as variations may occur with temperature or pressure
  • Double-check large volume calculations in water resources to ensure accuracy
  • Leverage examples as references for complex volume conversions

Limitations

  • Acre-foot is primarily used in the United States and may not be relevant internationally
  • Conversion assumes standard conditions for water; other fluids might vary with temperature and pressure
  • The tool does not handle other units beyond cubic meters and acre-feet
  • Customary units like acre-feet are less commonly used outside water resource management contexts

Frequently Asked Questions

What defines a cubic meter?
A cubic meter is the SI derived unit of volume defined by a cube with edges one meter long, measuring the space occupied by a substance.

What is an acre-foot used for?
An acre-foot quantifies large water volumes in surface and groundwater management, irrigation planning, and municipal water supply accounting.

How do I convert cubic meters to acre-feet?
Multiply the volume in cubic meters by 0.0008107132 to get the equivalent in acre-feet.

Key Terminology

Cubic Meter [m^3]
An SI derived volume unit defined by a cube with edges one meter in length, measuring three-dimensional space.
Acre-foot [ac*ft]
A customary volume unit equal to water covering one acre to a depth of one foot, used in water resource management.
Conversion Rate
The numerical factor used to translate volume from cubic meters to acre-feet, specifically 0.0008107132.
