Acre-Foot (Us Survey)
An acre-foot is a unit of volume commonly used in the United States to measure large quantities of water, equivalent to the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot.
History/Origin
The acre-foot originated from the traditional use of acres and feet as units of land and water measurement in the United States, primarily for irrigation and water resource management, becoming standardized in the early 20th century.
Current Use
The acre-foot is primarily used in water resource management, including measuring reservoir capacities, water rights, and irrigation supplies within the United States.
Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
