MAF
Million acre-feet (MAF) express river flows and treaty allocations: the Indus Waters Treaty and Pakistan’s water accounts use MAF, as does the Colorado River Compact.
Symbol: MAF
Quantity: volume of stored or released water (reservoirs, river flows, allocations)
SI relation: 1 MAF = 1233.481837548 MCM (exact)
Derivation: 1 MAF = 10⁶ acre-feet = 1233.48 MCM.
Exact: yes, by definition
Typical uses
- Indus Waters Treaty and Pakistan IRSA accounts
- Colorado River allocations
- Large reservoir capacity
