Unit Definition (hectare meter)
The hectare meter is a unit of volume used to measure the capacity of reservoirs, equal to the volume of water one meter deep covering one hectare. The unit is used mostly in British Commonwealth countries, especially India, where it provides a metric unit comparable to the traditional English acre foot. Reservoir capacities are often stated in millions of hectare meters (Mha·m or MHM). One hectare meter equals exactly 10 000 cubic meters or about 8.1071 acre feet.

Unit Definition (board foot)
The board foot is a unit of volume used for measuring lumber. One board foot is the volume of a one-foot length of a "standard board" twelve inches wide by one inch thick. Thus a board foot equals 144 cubic inches, or 1/12 of a cubic foot, or approximately 2.360 liters. If lumber is stacked neatly, we can compute the number of board feet from the dimensions of the stack, no matter how wide or thick the boards are. For example, a stack of two-by-fours 4 ft high, 4 ft wide, and 8 ft long contains 4 x 4 x 8 = 128 cubic feet, equivalent to 128 x 12 = 1536 board feet. The symbol fbm is an abbreviation for "foot, board measure."
