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).

The 'perfect acre' [2] is a rectangular area of 43,560 square feet, bounded by sides 660 feet (a furlong) long and 66 feet (a chain) wide (220 yards by 22 yards) or, equivalently, 40 rods by 4 rods. An acre is therefore 160 square rods or 10 square chains. The name perch derives from the Ancient Roman unit, the pertica.

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!).
