Acre-Foot
An acre-foot is a unit of volume commonly used in the United States to measure large quantities of water, representing the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot.
History/Origin
The acre-foot originated in the United States as a practical measurement for water rights and irrigation, combining the acre (area) and foot (depth) units to quantify water volume in land management and water resource planning.
Current Use
It is primarily used in water resource management, irrigation planning, and hydrology to quantify large volumes of water, especially in the context of reservoirs, water rights, and distribution systems.
Hundred-Cubic Foot
A hundred-cubic foot is a unit of volume equal to 100 cubic feet, commonly used in measuring large quantities of gases or liquids.
History/Origin
The hundred-cubic foot has historically been used in industries such as natural gas and HVAC to quantify large volumes, especially in the United States, as a convenient measure for gas quantities.
Current Use
Today, the hundred-cubic foot is primarily used in the natural gas industry to measure gas volumes, though it is less common with the adoption of standard SI units like cubic meters.
