Convert Cubic yards per second to Megalitres per day
Convert Cubic yards per second (yd³/s) to Megalitres per day (ML/d) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ML/d = yd³/s × 66.05753973
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.
About Megalitres per day
The megalitre per day (ML/d) equals 1000/86400 ≈ 0.011574 m³/s, numerically identical to million litres per day. It is the preferred notation in Australian water-authority reporting, environmental flow assessments, and reservoir storage accounting. Murray-Darling Basin environmental flows are specified in ML/d; urban water utilities publish reservoir capacity and daily draw in ML/d. 1 ML/d ≈ 0.011574 m³/s = 1 000 m³/d.
