A dekaliter (daL) is a metric volume unit equal to 10 liters, often used for medium-sized liquid containers and batch volumes.

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

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

Why are the converted values so small?

Because dekaliters measure smaller liquid volumes compared to acre-feet, conversions usually produce very small decimal numbers.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert volume values from dekaliters, a metric unit commonly used for bulk liquids, into acre-feet (US survey), a unit used primarily for large-scale water volume measurements, such as in reservoirs and irrigation.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume amount in dekaliters into the input field.
Select dekaliters [daL] as the starting unit and acre-foot (US survey) as the target unit.
Click on the convert button to see the equivalent volume in acre-feet.
Use the results to understand and manage larger scale water volumes.

Key Features

Converts dekaliter volumes to acre-foot (US survey) values quickly and accurately.
Supports conversions relevant to water resource management and agricultural planning.
Browser-based and easy to use without any installation.
Provides examples to guide users in typical volume conversions.

Examples

100 dekaliters [daL] equals approximately 0.0008107 acre-foot (US survey).
500 dekaliters [daL] converts to about 0.00405 acre-foot (US survey).

Common Use Cases

Measuring medium-sized liquid volumes such as jerrycans or bottles in dekaliters.
Calculating water stored in reservoirs and dams using acre-foot units.
Planning irrigation water deliveries and reporting agricultural water rights.
Managing municipal or regional annual water supply and consumption.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure to verify unit definitions since acre-foot (US survey) is specific to US survey feet.
Be aware that dekaliter volumes are much smaller, often leading to very small decimal conversion results.
Use examples as a reference to check correctness of your conversions.
Apply conversions for both small batch liquid volumes and large-scale water resource planning.

Limitations

The acre-foot unit used is based on US survey feet and may not match other definitions of acre-foot.
Dekaliter is a relatively small unit compared to acre-foot, so converted values usually appear as very small decimals requiring precise handling.
