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.
Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
