The acre-foot per year has been used historically in the US in many water-management agreements, for example the Colorado River Compact, which divides 15 million acre-feet per year (19 cubic kilometres per year) among seven western US states. Water reservoir capacities in the US are commonly given in thousands of acre-feet, abbreviated TAF or KAF.
Tmcft, (Tmc ft), (TMC), (tmc) is the abbreviation of thousand million cubic feet (1,000,000,000 = 10 9 = 1 billion), commonly used in India in reference to volume of water in a reservoir [1] or river flow.
The volume of a lake is a difficult quantity to measure. [1] Generally, the volume must be inferred from bathymetric data by integration. Lake volumes can also change dramatically over time and during the year, especially for salt lakes in arid climates.
The IEEE symbol for the cubic foot per second is ft 3 /s. [1] The following other abbreviations are also sometimes used: ft 3 /sec; cu ft/s; cfs or CFS; cusec; second-feet; The flow or discharge of rivers, i.e., the volume of water passing a location per unit of time, is commonly expressed in units of cubic feet per second or cubic metres per second.
About 16.5 million acre-feet (20.4 km 3) of water entering the Delta in a typical year flows through the Delta into San Francisco Bay, including 6.3 million acre-feet (7.8 km 3) in governmentally mandated environmental flows; 22.4 million acre-feet (27.6 km 3) is used for other environmental purposes, and 1.6 million acre-feet (2.0 km 3 ...
