Acre-feet per Day to Litres per Second (acre-ft/day to L/s)
1 acre-foot per day (acre-ft/day) = 14.27641016 litres per second (L/s). 1 L/s = 0.07004561994 acre-ft/day. Example: 15 acre-ft/day = 15 × 14.27641016 = 214.1461524 L/s.

How to Convert Acre-foot per Day to Litre per Second
- 1 acre-ft/day = 14.27641016 L/s
- 1 L/s = 0.07004561994 acre-ft/day
- Example: convert 15 acre-ft/day to L/s: 15 acre-ft/day = 15 × 14.27641016 L/s = 214.1461524 L/s
Formula
L/s = acre-ft/day × 14.2764101568
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 acre-ft/day = 1233.48 m³ ÷ 86,400 s; 1 cusec for one day ≈ 1.98 acre-feet.
- 1 L/s = 10⁻³ m³/s.
- 1 acre-ft/day = 0.0142764101568 m³/s ÷ 0.001 m³/s per L/s = 14.2764101568 L/s
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Acre-foot per Day definition: acre-foot per day; Litre per Second definition: litre per second.
Worked examples
- A reading of 10 acre-ft/day converts to 142.7641016 L/s.
10 acre-ft/day × 14.27641016 = 142.7641016 L/s - A value of 500 acre-ft/day is 7138.205078 L/s.
500 acre-ft/day × 14.27641016 = 7138.205078 L/s

Frequently asked questions
How many litres per second are in 1 acre-foot per day?
1 acre-ft/day = 14.27641016 L/s.
How do I convert acre-feet per day to litres per second?
Multiply the value in acre-ft/day by 14.27641016. For example, 15 acre-ft/day × 14.27641016 = 214.1461524 L/s.
Is the acre-ft/day to L/s conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, so the ratio is exact; its decimal form does not terminate and is shown here to 10 significant figures (more with the precision selector).
