I doubt that there is one person in 20 who knows how many acres in a square mile, so putting it in acre-feet would be useless to the general reader.  If we want to illustrate volume in terms of thickness x area, why don't we just choose an appropriate thickness (say, an inch, or a cm) and say how many mi2 or km2 the spilled volume would cover.    13:09
