Convert Cubic yards per hour to Acre-feet per day
Convert Cubic yards per hour (yd³/h) to Acre-feet per day (ac-ft/d) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ac-ft/d = yd³/h × 0.01487603306
About Cubic yards per hour
The cubic yard per hour (yd³/h) equals 0.764554857984/3600 ≈ 2.124×10⁻⁴ m³/s, the standard unit for concrete pump output, earthwork compaction flow, and US dredging production rate reporting. A concrete pump truck delivers 30-80 yd³/h on a high-rise pour; a cutter-suction dredger handles 100-500 yd³/h in harbour maintenance. 1 yd³/h ≈ 2.124×10⁻⁴ m³/s.
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.
