Convert Kilolitres per second to Cubic feet per second
Convert Kilolitres per second (kL/s) to Cubic feet per second (ft³/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ft³/s = kL/s × 35.31466672
About Kilolitres per second
The kilolitre per second (kL/s) equals 1 m³/s, so 1 kL/s is identical to 1 m³/s. The term kilolitre is favoured in Australian and South African engineering over the equivalent cubic metre per second. Municipal water-main flow and stormwater-channel capacity are sometimes expressed in kL/s in these countries. 1 kL/s = 1 m³/s = 1 000 L/s ≈ 15 850 US gal/min.
About Cubic feet per second
The cubic foot per second (ft³/s or cfs) equals 0.028316846592 m³/s, the primary unit for measuring river discharge and open-channel flow in the United States. The US Geological Survey publishes all streamflow data in cfs; irrigation water rights, flood-control gates, and dam spillway capacities are specified in cfs. The Colorado River at full natural flow is ≈22 000 cfs. 1 cfs = 0.028316846592 m³/s ≈ 28.317 L/s ≈ 448.8 US gpm.
