About Acre-Feet

An acre-foot (ac ft) = the volume covering 1 acre to 1 ft depth ≈ 1,233.5 m³ (325,851 US gal). Almost exclusively used in US water resource management. California's Lake Shasta: 4.55 million ac ft at capacity. A typical US household uses ~0.5-1 ac ft/year. Water rights on the Colorado and Sacramento rivers are traded in acre-feet. 1 ac ft ≈ 1,233.5 m³.

About Picoliters

A picoliter (pL) = 10⁻¹² L = one cubic micrometre. Inkjet printers deposit 1-10 pL droplets per dot to achieve >600 DPI. Droplet microfluidics uses pL-sized reaction chambers for digital PCR and single-cell analysis, detecting a single DNA molecule per droplet. High-throughput drug-screening robots dispense compounds in pL volumes into 1,536-well plates. 1 pL = 10⁻¹² L.
