About These Units
Cubic Meter per Second (m³/s)
Cubic meters per second (m³/s) is the SI unit of volumetric flow rate, also called cumec. Used for rivers (Amazon: 209,000 m³/s), industrial processes, and large pumping stations. One m³/s equals 1,000 liters per second or 15,850 US gallons per minute.
Cubic Foot per Second (CFS)
Cubic feet per second (CFS or cusec) measures river flow, large pumps, and hydraulic systems. Colorado River: 15,000 CFS average. One CFS equals 448.8 GPM, 28.3 L/s, or 7.48 gallons per second. USGS river gauges report in CFS.
