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 second
The UK (imperial) fluid ounce per second (fl oz/s) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/160 ≈ 2.841×10⁻⁵ m³/s, slightly larger than its US counterpart. It appears in pre-metric British food-manufacturing and brewing standards. A traditional UK draught-beer tap dispenses 1 pint (20 fl oz) in about 2 seconds, equating to ≈10 UK fl oz/s. 1 UK fl oz/s ≈ 2.841×10⁻⁵ m³/s ≈ 0.9608 US fl oz/s.
