Unit Conversions Common units used to measure water are: cfs (cubic feet per second) gallons acre-foot inches (in precip gage) Need to be able to convert between them
29
Acre-foot 1 acre-foot = 43,560 ft 2 /acre x 1 foot = 43,560 ft 3 How many gallons is this???
30
Cubic feet gallons 7.48 gallons = 1 ft 3 43,560 ft 3 x 7.48 gal/1 ft 3 = 325,829 gal
31
Length-Area-Volume L vs. L 2 vs. L 3 1 ft 2 12 inches 12 inches x 12 inches = 144 in 2 =1 ft 2
32
Length-Area-Volume L vs. L2 vs. L3 1 ft 3 12 inches 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in 3 = 1 ft 3

CRATER LAKE Surface area = 579,348,000 ft 2 Avg. ann. Precip = 68 in. What volume of precip. is added to the lake in acre-feet each year? 1)Need to convert units to make them consistent. It’s easiest to convert Feet to acre-feet, so let’s convert inches to Feet! 68 in x 1 foot /12 inches = 68/12 feet = 5.67 ft 2) Calculate volume of precip. in ft3 by multiplying Surface area of lake x depth of precip. 579,348,000 ft 2 x 5.67 ft = 3,284,903,160 ft 3 3) Convert ft 3 to acre-ft 3,284,903,160 ft 3 x 1 ac-ft/43,560 ft 3 = 75,411 acre-ft/year from ppt.
