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 US fluid ounces per minute
The US fluid ounce per minute (fl oz/min) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/128/60 ≈ 4.929×10⁻⁷ m³/s. It is found in US consumer-product flow specifications such as showerhead flow ratings, beverage dispenser settings, and fuel-injector bench tests in US automotive workshops. A showerhead rated at 48 fl oz/min delivers exactly 1.5 US gal/min. 1 fl oz/min ≈ 4.929×10⁻⁷ m³/s.
