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). There has been two definitions of the acre-foot (differing by about 0.0006%), using ...
The units that are typically used to express discharge in streams or rivers include m 3 /s (cubic meters per second), ft 3 /s (cubic feet per second or cfs) and/or acre-feet per day. [2] A commonly applied methodology for measuring, and estimating, the discharge of a river is based on a simplified form of the continuity equation.
atmosphere-cubic centimetre per second: atm ccs [citation needed] ≡ 1 atm × 1 cm 3 /s = 0.101 325 W: atmosphere-cubic foot per hour: atm cfh [citation needed] ≡ 1 atm × 1 cu ft/h = 0.797 001 247 04 W: atmosphere-cubic foot per minute: atm cfm [citation needed] ≡ 1 atm × 1 cu ft/min = 47.820 074 682 24 W: atmosphere-cubic foot per ...
This is a list of rivers in the continental United States by average discharge (streamflow) in cubic feet per second. All rivers with average discharge more than 15,000 cubic feet per second are listed.
All this because of the lack in ability to do this simple calculation. I will illustrate here: 1 acre (1 foot thick) x # of gallons in a cubic foot. This is, simply 43560 (Cubic feet) x 7.48 gallons / cubic foot = 325,828.8 gallons - rounded to 325,829 gallons per acre foot (do it on a calculator!).
As of Feb. 5, the lake was being held at about 86% capacity with 324,000 acre-feet of water within its banks and 350 cubic feet of water being released per second into the Salinas River, according ...
A board foot is a United States and Canadian unit of approximate volume, used for lumber. It is equivalent to 1 inch × 1 foot × 1 foot (144 cu in or 2,360 cm 3). It is also found in the unit of density pounds per board foot. In Australia and New Zealand the terms super foot or superficial foot were formerly used for this unit. The exact ...
“Of the 6.6 million gallons per day, (Hyundai) is estimated to need 4 million gallons per day once we reach full production – 300,000 cars annually,” company spokeswoman Bianca Johnson said ...
