Acre-Inch
An acre-inch is a unit of volume equal to the volume of one acre of surface area filled to a depth of one inch.
History/Origin
The acre-inch has historically been used in agriculture and water resource management to measure water volume over large land areas, especially in irrigation contexts, originating from the traditional use of acres and inches as units of land area and depth.
Current Use
Today, the acre-inch is primarily used in the United States for measuring water volumes in irrigation, water rights, and reservoir capacities, especially in agricultural and environmental management.
Decistere
Decistere (ds) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one-tenth of a litre, used primarily in some European countries for measuring liquids.
History/Origin
The decistere originated in the metric system as a subunit of the litre, introduced to facilitate smaller volume measurements. Its usage has declined with the standardization of the litre and millilitre units.
