Convert Acre-feet per day to Kilolitres per second
Convert Acre-feet per day (ac-ft/d) to Kilolitres per second (kL/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kL/s = ac-ft/d × 0.01427641016
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 second
The kilolitre per second (kL/s) equals 1 m³/s, so 1 kL/s is identical to 1 m³/s. The term kilolitre is favoured in Australian and South African engineering over the equivalent cubic metre per second. Municipal water-main flow and stormwater-channel capacity are sometimes expressed in kL/s in these countries. 1 kL/s = 1 m³/s = 1 000 L/s ≈ 15 850 US gal/min.
