Many thanks, the acre feet could be most useful. In the past, I've often
had to convert various rainfall figures from Imperial to SI and reverse.
This should be useful - though someone's law will say that I won't have
to use it until I've forgotten that I have the facility available! ;(
Here is another hardly used one, but I would doubt you could find the
conversion anywhere else.

1 century = 3.1556926 × 10^9 seconds
I often do stuff like that. It was originally something to fill up the
long boring periods at work.
1 minute = 60 seconds
1 hour = 3.6 kiloseconds (3600 sec, 3.6KS)
1 day = 86.4KS
1 week = 604.8KS
1 month (30 days) = 2.59MS (2.59 megaseconds)
1 year (average year) = 31.5MS
1 decade = 315MS
1 century = 3.15GS (gigaseconds)
1 millennium = 31.5GS
