Acre-Foot (Us Survey)
An acre-foot is a unit of volume commonly used in the United States to measure large quantities of water, equivalent to the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot.
History/Origin
The acre-foot originated from the traditional use of acres and feet as units of land and water measurement in the United States, primarily for irrigation and water resource management, becoming standardized in the early 20th century.
Current Use
The acre-foot is primarily used in water resource management, including measuring reservoir capacities, water rights, and irrigation supplies within the United States.
Nanoliter
A nanoliter (nL) is a unit of volume equal to one billionth of a liter (10^-9 liters).
History/Origin
The nanoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to include smaller units for scientific and industrial measurements, particularly in fields like biology and chemistry, during the 20th century.
Current Use
Nanoliters are commonly used in laboratories for precise measurements of small liquid volumes, such as in microfluidics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research.
