Acre-Foot (Us Survey)
An acre-foot is a unit of volume commonly used in the United States to measure large quantities of water, equivalent to the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot.
History/Origin
The acre-foot originated from the traditional use of acres and feet as units of land and water measurement in the United States, primarily for irrigation and water resource management, becoming standardized in the early 20th century.
Current Use
The acre-foot is primarily used in water resource management, including measuring reservoir capacities, water rights, and irrigation supplies within the United States.
Exaliter
An exaliter (EL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^18 liters, used to measure extremely large quantities of liquid.
History/Origin
The exaliter was introduced as part of the metric system's extended prefixes to facilitate measurement of vast volumes, though it is rarely used in practical applications due to its enormous size.
Current Use
The exaliter is primarily used in scientific contexts, such as astrophysics and large-scale environmental studies, where measuring extremely large volumes is necessary.
