Answer 2

Basic units of water measurement:

There are two basic units of water measurement from a water management perspective.  For water that is in motion, cubic feet per second (CFS) is the unit of measure.  For water that is stored or impounded, the acre-foot (AF) is how water is measured.

Cubic feet per second (CFS):

* 1 cubic foot = 7.4805 gallons.

* 1 cubic foot per second = 7.4805 gallons flowing by a particular point in 1 second.

* 1 cfs = 1.983 acre-feet per day = 646,320 gallons = 2447 cubic meters of water.

* 1 cfs is equivalent to 448.8 gallons of water flowing per minute.

* 1 cfs will produce 724 acre-feet of water per year.

* 1 cfs = 38.4 miner’s inches of water.

Acre-foot (AF):

* 1 acre = 43,560 square feet.

* 1 acre-foot = 43,560 cubic feet.

* 1 acre-foot = 325,851 gallons of water = 1233 cubic meters of water.

* 1 acre-foot = 0.504 cfs/ day.
