As the name suggests, an acre-foot is defined as the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot.. Since an acre is defined as a chain by a furlong (i.e. 66 ft × 660 ft or 20.12 m × 201.17 m), an acre-foot is 43,560 cubic feet (1,233.5 m 3).
One acre equals 1 ⁄ 640 (0.0015625) square mile, 4,840 square yards, 43,560 square feet, [2] or about 4,047 square metres (0.4047 hectares) (see below).While all modern variants of the acre contain 4,840 square yards, there are alternative definitions of a yard, so the exact size of an acre depends upon the particular yard on which it is based.

The primary grid pattern is of quarter sections (1 ⁄ 2 mi × 1 ⁄ 2 mi (800 m × 800 m)). In U.S. land surveying under the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), a section is an area nominally one square mile (2.6 square kilometers), containing 640 acres (260 hectares), with 36 sections making up one survey township on a rectangular grid.

An Ankanam is measured as 72 sq ft (6.7 m 2), (mostly in the Nellore District) and, in some places (such as Tirupati), 36 sq ft (3.3 m 2). In Nellore, one acre equals 605 Ankanams, and 1 cent amounts to 6.05 Ankanams. This unit is very popular, presumably because it is easier to calculate the cost of a piece of land. [1]
