What are Cubic Kilometer and Acre-foot

Definition of Cubic Kilometer

A Cubic Kilometer (km^3) is a unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the volume of a cube with edges one kilometer in length. This immense volume measurement is often used in geology and environmental science to quantify large bodies of water or geological formations. One cubic kilometer is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 cubic meters.

Definition of Acre-foot

An Acre-foot (ac ft) is a unit of volume commonly used in the United States in reference to large-scale water resources. It describes the volume of one acre of surface area filled to a depth of one foot. This translates to 43,560 cubic feet or about 1,233 cubic meters. Acre-feet are widely used for measuring reservoirs, river flows, and water usage in agricultural and urban planning.
