Huh, is this really a commonly used unit? Although the dimensions match an area, it doesn't quite sound like one. I also can't find any good references on google. Do you have any references?

[gojanpaolo]

@angularsen in our case (dredging), we use it for calculating the amount/volume of soil required to fill up the beach. So given the length of the beach, we can calculate the volume we need to dredge.

The usual term for the unit is "Cubic Yards per Linear Foot".

I found this online which is a similar use case (i.e. filling up something) https://www.cityofsignalhill.org/DocumentCenter/View/1987/PW-Standard-Plans2Street200-242?bidId=

I found the beach filling example too. But are you sure it makes senses to add this as a unit to Area quantity?

I think maybe this fits better in https://github.com/angularsen/UnitsNet/blob/master/Common/UnitDefinitions/VolumePerLength.json . Then add the appropriate overloads for multiplication and division to support the calculations you need.

Ah, I didn't know that unit exists, nice catch! Will update PR later. Thanks!
