What is L/s to Million Acre Foot/Day Calculation

This calculator determines the flow rate equivalence between liters per second (L/s) and million acre feet per day (MAF/day). The relationship is: 1 MAF/day = 14,276,410.185185 L/s. An acre foot is the volume of water covering 1 acre (43,560 ft²) to a depth of 1 foot, and 1 million acre feet (MAF) is 1,233,481,837.54752 L, delivered per day.

For example, a flow rate of 14,276,410.185185 L/s equals 1 MAF/day, and a flow rate of 1 L/s equals approximately 7.0049 × 10⁻⁸ MAF/day.

How to Calculate L/s and Million Acre Foot/Day

Formulas:

L/s to MAF/day: \( \text{MAF/day} = \frac{\text{L/s}}{14276410.185185} \)

MAF/day to L/s: \( \text{L/s} = \text{MAF/day} \times 14276410.185185 \)

Example Calculation:

• If input is 14,276,410.185185 L/s:
• \( \text{MAF/day} = \frac{14276410.185185}{14276410.185185} = 1 \, \text{MAF/day} \)
• If input is 0.5 MAF/day:
• \( \text{L/s} = 0.5 \times 14276410.185185 = 7138205.0925925 \, \text{L/s} \)

Use the form above to input a flow rate and select the unit (L/s or MAF/day) to calculate the equivalent value in the other unit.

Flow Rate Units

The calculator uses the following units:

• Liters per Second (L/s): A standard unit for measuring flow rate in fluid dynamics.
• Million Acre Feet per Day (MAF/day): A unit representing a large volume flow rate, where 1 MAF/day = 14,276,410.185185 L/s.

Results are provided in both units after calculation.

FAQs

How do you calculate L/s from million acre feet/day?

To calculate L/s from MAF/day, multiply the value in MAF/day by 14,276,410.185185. For example, 0.5 MAF/day × 14,276,410.185185 = 7,138,205.0925925 L/s.

How do you calculate million acre feet/day from L/s?

To calculate MAF/day from L/s, divide the value in L/s by 14,276,410.185185. For example, 3,569,102.55 L/s ÷ 14,276,410.185185 ≈ 0.25 MAF/day.

What is the flow rate of 10,000,000 L/s in million acre feet/day?

For 10,000,000 L/s: \( \text{MAF/day} = \frac{10000000}{14276410.185185} \approx 0.7005 \, \text{MAF/day} \).
