A dekaliter (daL) is a metric unit of volume equal to 10 liters or 0.01 cubic meters, commonly used for medium-sized liquid volumes.

What does an acre-foot measure?

An acre-foot is a customary volume unit representing the amount of water covering one acre to a depth of one foot, used mainly in water resource management.

Why are conversions from dekaliters to acre-feet often very small decimals?

Because the dekaliter is much smaller than the acre-foot, converted values typically result in very small decimal numbers.
