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 Kilolitres per day

The kilolitre per day (kL/d) equals 1/86400 ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁵ m³/s, the standard unit for per-household and per-property water-consumption billing in Australia. Sydney Water and other Australian utilities charge tariffs per kL/d consumed; a typical Australian household uses 0.6-1.0 kL/d. 1 kL/d = 1 m³/d ≈ 264.2 US gal/d.
