What are Acre-foot and Stere

An acre-foot (ac-ft) is a unit of volume used in the United States primarily for measuring the volume of water. It represents the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot. This equates to exactly 43,560 cubic feet or approximately 1,233 cubic meters.

A stere is a unit of volume in the metric system equivalent to one cubic meter (m³). Traditionally used for firewood, it measures the space occupied by a stack of logs or other material. Stere is not a standard SI unit but is still used in some contexts for volume.

History of Acre-foot and Stere
