Acre-Foot
An acre-foot is a unit of volume commonly used in the United States to measure large quantities of water, representing the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot.
History/Origin
The acre-foot originated in the United States as a practical measurement for water rights and irrigation, combining the acre (area) and foot (depth) units to quantify water volume in land management and water resource planning.
Current Use
It is primarily used in water resource management, irrigation planning, and hydrology to quantify large volumes of water, especially in the context of reservoirs, water rights, and distribution systems.
Stere
The stere (st) is a unit of volume used to measure large quantities of natural gas or other gases, equivalent to one thousand cubic meters (1,000 m³).
History/Origin
The stere originated in France in the 19th century as a practical unit for measuring natural gas volumes, particularly in the gas industry, and has been adopted in various countries for industrial and commercial purposes.
Current Use
Today, the stere is primarily used in the natural gas industry to quantify large volumes of gas, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, facilitating trade and regulation.
