What is a minim (UK)?

The minim (UK) is a historic British liquid volume unit used in apothecaries, equal to 1/60 of an imperial fluid dram or about 0.05919 milliliters.

What does an acre-foot measure?

An acre-foot measures the volume of water covering one acre of area to a depth of one foot, commonly used in water resource management.

Is this conversion practical for everyday use?

No, converting from minim (UK) to acre-foot is mostly theoretical and suitable for archival or large-scale water planning contexts.
