Acre-Foot (Us Survey)
An acre-foot is a unit of volume commonly used in the United States to measure large quantities of water, equivalent to the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot.
History/Origin
The acre-foot originated from the traditional use of acres and feet as units of land and water measurement in the United States, primarily for irrigation and water resource management, becoming standardized in the early 20th century.
Current Use
The acre-foot is primarily used in water resource management, including measuring reservoir capacities, water rights, and irrigation supplies within the United States.
Cubic Foot
A cubic foot (ft^3) is a unit of volume representing the space occupied by a cube with sides of one foot in length.
History/Origin
The cubic foot has been used historically in the imperial and US customary measurement systems for measuring volume, especially in construction, real estate, and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Today, the cubic foot is still used in the United States and some other regions for measuring large volumes of liquids, gases, and bulk materials, particularly in industries like construction, shipping, and HVAC.
