estimating water acre feet is essential for managing water resources, particularly in agricultural settings. Our water acre feet calculator streamlines this calculation. To understand pond water volume more comprehensively or assess water requirements, link it with our pond water volume calculator. This pairing offers comprehensive guidance for managing water resources.

How to use this Calcualtor

To use this Water Acre Feet Calculator, follow the simple steps below.

Step 1: Enter Length The first input field in the calculator is for the length of the pond or reservoir in feet. Enter the length of the pond or reservoir in this field. You can use decimal points for more precise measurements.

Step 2: Enter Width The second input field is for the width of the pond or reservoir in feet. Enter the width of the pond or reservoir in this field. As with the length field, you can use decimal points for more precise measurements.

Step 3: Enter Depth The third input field is for the depth of the pond or reservoir in feet. Enter the depth of the pond or reservoir in this field. Again, you can use decimal points for more precise measurements.

Step 4: Calculate Acre Feet Once you have entered the values for length, width, and depth, click the "Calculate Acre Feet" button. The calculator will then provide you with the volume in cubic feet and the volume in acre feet.

The volume in acre feet is a measure of the volume of water that would cover an area of one acre to a depth of one foot. It is commonly used in the management and conservation of water resources, particularly in agriculture and irrigation.

Water Acre Feet Formula:

 

To calculate the volume of water in acre feet based on the length, width, and depth of a reservoir or pond, you can use the following formula:

Volume (cubic feet) = Length * Width * Depth

Water Acre Feet = Volume (cubic feet) / 43560

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the volume of water in cubic feet is derived from the basic concept of multiplying the three dimensions of length, width, and depth. By multiplying these values together, we can determine the total volume of the reservoir or pond in cubic feet.

To convert the volume from cubic feet to acre feet, we divide the volume by a conversion factor of 43560. This conversion factor represents the number of square feet in an acre. Dividing the volume by this factor gives us the volume in terms of acre feet, which is a commonly used unit for measuring large quantities of water.

Example:

Let's consider an example where the length of the reservoir is 100 feet, the width is 50 feet, and the depth is 10 feet. We can use the formula to calculate the volume and water acre feet as follows:

Volume (cubic feet) = 100 * 50 * 10 = 50,000 cubic feet

Water Acre Feet = 50,000 / 43560 = 1.15 acre feet

In this example, the volume of water in the reservoir is 50,000 cubic feet, which is equivalent to approximately 1.15 acre feet.

Here is a table showing multiple rows of calculations using the formula for different reservoir dimensions:

Length (ft)Width (ft)Depth (ft)Volume (cubic feet)Water Acre Feet
100501050,0001.15
75601254,0001.24
12080876,8001.76
90701594,5002.17

In each row of the table, the values for length, width, and depth are given. Using the formula, the corresponding volume in cubic feet and water acre feet are calculated and presented in the respective columns.

Please note that these examples are for illustrative purposes only, and the actual values may vary depending on the specific dimensions of the reservoir or pond.

Using this calculator can help you determine the volume of water in a pond or reservoir and how much water you have available for irrigation or other uses. It can also help you monitor the water level in your pond or reservoir and make informed decisions about water management.
