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 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.
