A teraliter (TL) is a volume unit representing 10^12 liters, equivalent to a cubic kilometer, used to measure very large volumes.

What does an acre-foot measure?

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

Why convert teraliters to acre-feet?

This conversion translates large-scale metric volumes into customary units useful for irrigation, reservoir accounting, and regional water supply.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify the volume input is in teraliters before converting
Use conversions for strategic water resource and agricultural management
Remember acre-foot is regionally used, mainly in the US customary system
Consider unit context when comparing metric and customary volume data

Limitations

Acre-foot is mainly used in US customary units, limiting global relevance
Large-scale volume conversions may introduce rounding differences
Acre-foot assumes uniform water depth over an acre, not always accurate for irregular bodies
