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).

In Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, the official conversion is 1 arpent = 0.84628 acres (3,424.8 square metres). [2] In Arkansas and Missouri, the official conversion is 1 arpent = 0.8507 acres (3,443 square metres). [3] In Paris, the square arpent was 220 French feet × 220 French feet = 48,400 French square feet, about 5,107 ...
One acre equals 1 ⁄ 640 (0.0015625) square mile, 4,840 square yards, 43,560 square feet, [2] or about 4,047 square metres (0.4047 hectares) (see below).While all modern variants of the acre contain 4,840 square yards, there are alternative definitions of a yard, so the exact size of an acre depends upon the particular yard on which it is based.

[2] [3] The unit is still in use in many areas previously ruled by the Ottomans, although the new or metric dunam has been redefined (as of when, by who?) as exactly one decare (1,000 square metres [10,760 square feet ]), which is 1/10 hectare (1/10 × 10,000 square metres [107,640 square feet ]), like the modern Greek royal stremma .
An Olympic-size swimming pool holds over 2 acre-feet of water For larger volumes of liquid, one measure commonly used in the media in many countries is the Olympic-size swimming pool. [47] A 50 m × 25 m (164 ft × 82 ft) Olympic swimming pool, built to the FR3 minimum depth of 2 metres (6.6 ft) would hold 2,500 m 3 (660,000 US gal).
So we have the following conversions. 1 international acre foot ≡ 43,560 international cubic feet = 1233.48183754752 m 3 (exactly) = 325,851 + 3 ⁄ 7 US gallons (exactly) ≈ 271,328.072596 imp gal. I have also added a definition for the US survey version (as noted below).
