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 ).

This is a list of largest reservoirs in the United States, including all artificial lakes with a capacity greater than or equal to 1,000,000 acre-feet (1.2 km 3). Figures given are for maximum storage capacity (flood pool) of reservoirs, not regular storage volume (conservation pool).
Of the 10 states with the most "untapped potential," California ranks ninth with approximately 2.27 million acre-feet of urban area runoff each year. (An acre-foot is about 326,000 gallons ...
The state saw 4.1 million acre-feet of managed groundwater recharge in the water year ending in September, and an 8.7 million acre-feet increase in groundwater storage, California’s Department ...
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!).
“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 ...
It also has the largest storage capacity of the SRP lakes with the ability to store 1,653,043 acre-feet (2.039 km 3) of water when the conservation limit of Roosevelt Dam is reached. When the dam is in flood-control mode, the lake can store 2,910,200 acre⋅ft (3.590 km 3 ) of water; [ 2 ] [ 3 ] however, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ...
