About UK gallons per hour

The UK gallon per hour (gph) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/3600 ≈ 1.263×10⁻⁶ m³/s, found in pre-metric British burner-nozzle ratings, oil-consumption logs for diesel generators, and ship fuel-economy records. British aviation fuel consumption was once published in UK gal/h; legacy Lloyd's Register tanker descriptions used UK gal/h for cargo pump capacities. 1 UK gph ≈ 1.263×10⁻⁶ m³/s.

About Cubic kilometres per year

The cubic kilometre per year (km³/yr) equals 10⁹/(365.25×86400) ≈ 31.688 m³/s, the unit used in global hydrology, glaciology, and climate science for river basin runoff, ice-sheet mass balance, and groundwater storage change. Total global freshwater river runoff is ≈37 000 km³/yr; the Amazon alone contributes ≈6 600 km³/yr; the Greenland ice sheet loses ≈280 km³/yr to melt and calving. 1 km³/yr ≈ 31.69 m³/s.
