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.

About Acre-feet per minute

The acre-foot per minute (ac-ft/min) equals 1233.48183754752/60 ≈ 20.558 m³/s, encountered in large irrigation canal capacity descriptions and reservoir emergency spillway sizing in the US West. A major canal gate releasing 1 ac-ft/min drains a 1-acre field 1 foot deep every minute - a substantial agricultural flow. 1 ac-ft/min ≈ 20.558 m³/s ≈ 726.0 ft³/s.
