A kiloliter (kL) is a metric volume unit equal to 1,000 liters or exactly one cubic meter, used to express larger liquid volumes.

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

An acre-foot (US survey) is the volume of water covering one acre to a depth of one US survey foot, equal to 43,560 cubic US survey feet.

Why convert kiloliters to acre-feet (US survey)?

This conversion translates metric liquid volumes into units commonly used in water resource management, agriculture, and reservoir planning.
