A dekastere is a non-SI metric volume unit equal to ten steres, or 10 cubic meters, often used for quantifying stacked firewood or timber.

How is an acre-foot defined?

An acre-foot is a customary volume unit representing the amount of water needed to cover one acre of area to a depth of one foot, roughly 1,233.48 cubic meters.

Why convert dekastere to acre-foot?

Converting dekastere to acre-foot allows expressing metric-based bulk volumes into customary water units used in water resource management, irrigation, and agricultural planning.
