Convert Acre-feet per hour to Cubic feet per day
Convert Acre-feet per hour (ac-ft/h) to Cubic feet per day (ft³/d) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ft³/d = ac-ft/h × 1045440
About Acre-feet per hour
The acre-foot per hour (ac-ft/h) equals 1233.48183754752/3600 ≈ 0.34263 m³/s, standard for sizing irrigation district delivery canals, reservoir outflow scheduling, and aquifer recharge basin calculations in the western US. The US Bureau of Reclamation uses ac-ft/h for canal operational planning; a 1 000-acre farm irrigating with 0.5 in/h rain-equivalent receives ≈41 ac-ft/h. 1 ac-ft/h ≈ 0.34263 m³/s.
About Cubic feet per day
The cubic foot per day (ft³/d) equals 0.028316846592/86400 ≈ 3.277×10⁻⁷ m³/s, found in US oil-and-gas production reports for low-rate gas wells and groundwater monitoring wells. A marginal coalbed-methane well producing 50 Mcf/d (50 000 ft³/d) of gas represents a modest but economic flow; residential water-well yield tests report in ft³/d. 1 ft³/d ≈ 3.277×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
