What is a hectoliter (hL)?

A hectoliter is a metric volume unit equal to 100 liters or 0.1 cubic meters, commonly used in agriculture and industry to measure large liquid volumes.

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

An acre-foot (US survey) is the volume needed to cover one acre of land to a depth of one US survey foot, equivalent to 43,560 cubic US survey feet or about 1,233.5 cubic meters.

Why convert hectoliters to acre-feet?

Converting from hectoliters to acre-feet helps translate industrial or agricultural volume data into units commonly used for water resource planning and irrigation management.
