A kiloliter (kL) is a unit of volume equal to 1,000 liters or one cubic meter, commonly used to measure larger liquid volumes in engineering and everyday contexts.

How much volume does one acre-foot represent?

One acre-foot is the volume of water covering one acre of land to a depth of one foot, amounting to 43,560 cubic feet or roughly 1,233.48 cubic meters.

Why convert kiloliters to acre-feet?

Conversions are useful for expressing large water volumes in customary units relevant to water resources management, irrigation planning, and regional water supply accounting.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert volume values from kiloliters (kL), a metric unit, to acre-feet (ac*ft), a customary unit. It is designed for use cases like water resources management, agricultural irrigation planning, and reservoir volume reporting.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter a volume value in kiloliters (kL) that you want to convert.
Select kiloliter as the input unit and acre-foot as the output unit.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent volume in acre-feet.
Review the converted value to assist with water management or irrigation planning.
Use the examples provided as guidance for typical conversion scenarios.

Key Features

Converts kiloliters to acre-feet accurately based on established conversion rates.
Supports volume conversions relevant to water storage, irrigation, and municipal water supply.
Browser-based and easy to use without the need for complex formulas.
Includes example conversions for quick reference.
Useful for comparing metric and customary volume units in water resource contexts.

Examples

1000 kiloliters = 0.8107132 acre-feet
500 kiloliters = 0.4053566 acre-feet

Common Use Cases

Expressing large water volumes in customary units for surface water and groundwater management.
Planning and allocating irrigation water deliveries for agriculture.
Reporting reservoir and lake storage capacities and water releases.
Accounting for municipal or regional annual water supply and water rights volumes.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you input the volume in kiloliters correctly for accurate conversion.
Understand when to use the acre-foot unit, especially for large water volumes.
Use the converter to communicate water volumes consistently across different unit systems.
Be mindful of unit preferences regionally as this might influence which unit you report.
Consider rounding carefully due to differences between metric and customary systems.

Limitations

Conversion involves switching between metric and customary units, so rounding errors may occur.
Small volume measurements in kiloliters can produce very small decimal acre-foot values.
The acre-foot is typically used for large volumes, so conversions of small volumes may be less practical.
Regional unit preferences can affect how these conversion results are interpreted and used.
