Convert Kilolitres per hour to Acre-feet per day
Convert Kilolitres per hour (kL/h) to Acre-feet per day (ac-ft/d) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ac-ft/d = kL/h × 0.01945711665
About Kilolitres per hour
The kilolitre per hour (kL/h) equals 1/3600 m³/s ≈ 2.778×10⁻⁴ m³/s, identical to m³/h. It is used interchangeably with m³/h in Australian, New Zealand, and South African process-engineering practice. Pump datasheets from these markets quote capacity in kL/h; water-meter billing in rural areas uses kL/h for irrigation allocation. 1 kL/h = 1 m³/h = 1 000 L/h.
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.
