Convert Acre-feet per day to Kilolitres per minute
Convert Acre-feet per day (ac-ft/d) to Kilolitres per minute (kL/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kL/min = ac-ft/d × 0.8565846094
About Acre-feet per day
The acre-foot per day (ac-ft/d) equals 1233.48183754752/86400 ≈ 0.014278 m³/s, the practical unit for daily water-delivery scheduling in western US irrigation districts and river-compact administration. Water rights in the Colorado River system are specified in acre-feet per year; daily delivery schedules convert to ac-ft/d. A moderate-size irrigation lateral delivers 5-50 ac-ft/d. 1 ac-ft/d ≈ 0.014278 m³/s ≈ 504.2 US gal/min.
About Kilolitres per minute
The kilolitre per minute (kL/min) equals 1/60 m³/s ≈ 0.016667 m³/s, used in Australian water-utility engineering for pump and pipeline sizing. Irrigation district delivery schedules and water-authority trunk-main flow records in Australia and New Zealand frequently use kL/min as an intermediate unit between L/s and ML/d. 1 kL/min = 1 000 L/min ≈ 264.2 US gal/min.
