Current Use
Nanoliters are commonly used in laboratories for precise measurements of small liquid volumes, such as in microfluidics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research.
Acre-Inch
An acre-inch is a unit of volume equal to the volume of one acre of surface area filled to a depth of one inch.
History/Origin
The acre-inch has historically been used in agriculture and water resource management to measure water volume over large land areas, especially in irrigation contexts, originating from the traditional use of acres and inches as units of land area and depth.
Current Use
Today, the acre-inch is primarily used in the United States for measuring water volumes in irrigation, water rights, and reservoir capacities, especially in agricultural and environmental management.
