About Cubic metres per second
The cubic metre per second (m³/s) is the SI coherent unit of volumetric flow rate. It is used for large river discharges, turbine inlet flows, and major pipeline capacities. The Amazon River at its mouth averages ≈200 000 m³/s; a large hydroelectric turbine passes 400-800 m³/s; a major municipal water-main carries 5-20 m³/s. 1 m³/s = 1 000 L/s ≈ 15 850 US gal/min = 35.315 ft³/s.
About Cubic yards per second
The cubic yard per second (yd³/s) equals 0.764554857984 m³/s, a large unit used in US civil engineering for river flood-stage measurements and reservoir emergency-spillway capacity. A major dam spillway releasing water at 1 000 yd³/s could drain an Olympic pool in about 3 seconds. 1 yd³/s = 0.764554857984 m³/s ≈ 764.555 L/s ≈ 27 ft³/s.
