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 UK gallons per day
The UK gallon per day (gpd) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/86400 ≈ 5.261×10⁻⁸ m³/s, used in British per-capita water-consumption statistics and pre-metric water-authority regulation. Historic UK Water Acts set minimum supply standards in UK gal/d per household; older UK borehole pump test reports quote sustained yield in UK gal/d. 1 UK gpd ≈ 5.261×10⁻⁸ m³/s.
