About these units
Acre-Foot (ac*ft)
An acre-foot represents the volume of water needed to cover one acre of land to a depth of one foot—approximately 1,233.48 cubic meters or 325,851 gallons. This unit is foundational in water resource management throughout the western United States, where large-scale irrigation, reservoir planning, and drought analysis depend on acre-foot measurements. For example, major reservoirs like Lake Mead and Lake Powell hold billions of acre-feet. In agriculture, irrigation districts track water rights and allocations using acre-feet, making it a key component of water law. Its scale is ideal for representing the enormous water needs associated with farming, urban expansion, and environmental preservation.
Hundred-Cubic Foot (100 ft³)
This is simply another expression of 100 cubic feet, used in billing systems, engineering calculations, and pipeline monitoring. Where the abbreviation CCF is standard for water utilities, many technical publications explicitly use "100 ft³" to avoid ambiguity. Engineers working on ventilation systems, gas pipelines, or storage capacities may choose this form for clarity in calculations. Its simplicity and direct reference to cubic feet make it a universally understood expression in industries that rely on imperial volume measurement.
