The acre-foot is a unit of volume in the US customary unit system with the symbol ac⋅ft.
It represents the volume contained in a box measuring 660 feet long, 66 feet wide and 1 foot deep. This can be thought of a box the size of an acre but 1 foot deep.
It is approximately the same volume as an 8 lane swimming pool; 25 metres in length, 3 metres deep and 16 metres wide (assuming lanes are 2 metres wide).
It is still used in the US despite its links to the much-outdated imperial system of units. For example a "rule of thumb" is that an average suburban family's annual water usage should be around 1 acre-foot. This is equal to just under 3.4 m³ daily.
The US liquid quart is a unit of volume in the US customary system with the symbol qt.
The US liquid quart is equal to 1/4 US liquid gallons, 2 US liquid pints, 4 US liquid cups, 8 US liquid gills or 32 US fluid ounces. The SI / metric equivalent is ≈ 0.946353 L.
The US liquid quart was based on exactly 57.75 in³ which was derived from the 1959 international yard and pound agreement whereby all traditional length and volume measures were legally standardised.
