About Cubic Yards
A cubic yard (yd³) = 27 ft³ ≈ 764.6 L. Standard unit for bulk construction materials in the US: concrete pours, mulch, topsoil, gravel, and fill dirt are ordered and delivered by the yard. A standard concrete mixer truck carries 8-10 yd³. Earth-moving and landfill capacity are measured in millions of cubic yards. One yd³ of concrete ≈4,000 lb. 1 yd³ = 27 ft³ ≈ 764.6 L.
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.
