About Cubic kilometres per year
The cubic kilometre per year (km³/yr) equals 10⁹/(365.25×86400) ≈ 31.688 m³/s, the unit used in global hydrology, glaciology, and climate science for river basin runoff, ice-sheet mass balance, and groundwater storage change. Total global freshwater river runoff is ≈37 000 km³/yr; the Amazon alone contributes ≈6 600 km³/yr; the Greenland ice sheet loses ≈280 km³/yr to melt and calving. 1 km³/yr ≈ 31.69 m³/s.
About UK fluid ounces per minute
The UK fluid ounce per minute (fl oz/min) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/160/60 ≈ 4.735×10⁻⁷ m³/s. It is found in pre-metric British plumbing and brewing specifications, where tap-flow and pump-delivery rates were stated in imperial fluid ounces per minute. A UK laboratory peristaltic pump calibrated to 30 fl oz/min delivers ≈14.2 mL/s. 1 UK fl oz/min ≈ 4.735×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
