basic information on water measurement units and convenient conversion factors. Sometimes one will want to know only the volume of water used; while, at other times one will want to know the rate of flow. Conversion factors simplify changing from one unit of measurement to another. Water Measurement Units

The following conversion table can be used to convert between English and Metric units. Irrigation water management does begin with knowing how much water is available and involves some arithmetic.
