A UK gill is an imperial volume unit equal to one quarter of an imperial pint or about 142 milliliters, traditionally used for small liquid measures.

What does an acre-inch represent?

An acre-inch is the volume needed to cover one acre of land to a depth of one inch, equivalent to 3,630 cubic feet or about 102.79 cubic meters.

Why convert from gill to acre-inch?

Converting from gill to acre-inch helps translate small traditional liquid volumes into large agricultural water volume units for irrigation and resource planning.
