Volume Units

Hactare meter : Volume to cover an area of 1 hactare upto depth of


1m.
Hactare = 10,000 sq m. Depth = 1m.
Volume = 10,000 * 1 = 10,000 m3

Acre foot. Volume required to cover an area of 1 acre upto depth of


1 foot.
Acre = 43560 sq ft depth = 1ft
Acre foot = 43560 * 1= 43560 ft3

Acre inch. Volume o water required to cover an area upto 1 inch


Area = 1 acre , depth = 1 inch
Acre inch = 43560 * 1/12 ft = 3630 ft3
Second Feet Day ( SFD)
Volume
Water Units
flowing at the rate of 1 cusec for 24 hours.

One SFD = 1 cusec * 24 hrs


One SFD = 1cb ft/sec * 24 * 3600 sec
One SFD = 86400 cubic ft

Interconversion ( Try Yourself)


Convert one volume unit into another volume unit

For example there are 1.98 acre-feet in one SFD


Flow Rate Units
Cusec CFS
If one cubic foot volume of water is passing in one second form a
certain point, then discharge is called 1 cusec or ft3/sec.

Cumec CMS
If one cubic meter volume of water is passing in one second from a
certain point, discharge is called 1 cumec/musec or m3/sec.

Liter Per Second:


If one liter volume of water is passing in one second from a certain
point, discharge is called 1 lps or 1 liter per second.

Gallon Per Minute:


If one gallon of water is passing in one minute time from any point,
then discharge at that point is called 1 Gallon Per Minutes or G.P.M.
Duty of Irrigation Water
Delta
Total depth of water required by the crop to come to maturity is
called as Delta.
Area Units and Conversion
1 hactare = 100m * 100m = 10,000m2
1 Acre = 220ft * 198 ft = 43560 ft2

By converting ft2 into m2 of acre.


1m=3.28 ft. Take square on bot sides
1m2 = 10.75 ft2

Now divide
1 acre = 43560 ft2 = 4048 m2
10.7584 ft2 /m2

Now divide for hactare to acre conversion


10,000m2 = 2.471
4048m2

Hence 1 hactare = 2.471 acres


Volume Units and Conversions
Volume of water required= Area * Depth of water required
By Comparing 1 and 2

1m = 3.28 ft 35.28 ft3 = 1000 Liter


By taking cube on both sides
4- 1ft3= 28.3 Liter

1- 1m3 = 35.28 ft3


By comparing 2 and 3

2- 1m3 = 1000 Liter 0.001m3 = 0.2638 US Gallon


OR
5- 1m3 = 263.8 US Gallon
1 Liter = 0.001m3
By comparing 1 and 5
3- 1 US Gallon = 3.78 Liter
35.28 ft3 = 263.8 US Gallons
OR
1 Liter = 0.2638 US Gallon 6- 1 ft3 = 7.48 US Gallons
