About US gallons per day
The US gallon per day (gpd) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/86400 ≈ 4.381×10⁻⁸ m³/s, the standard unit in US water-utility regulation and residential water-well pump sizing. The US national average residential water use is about 80-100 gpd per person; a reverse-osmosis membrane module is rated in gpd (50-100 gpd for domestic units). 1 US gpd ≈ 4.381×10⁻⁸ m³/s.
About Litres per second
The litre per second (L/s) equals 10⁻³ m³/s, the standard unit for municipal water-supply engineering, fire-fighting flows, and HVAC system air handling. A fire hydrant delivers 15-30 L/s; a household mains water connection is typically 0.1-0.5 L/s; a large building HVAC chilled-water loop circulates 50-200 L/s. 1 L/s = 10⁻³ m³/s = 3.6 m³/h ≈ 15.85 US gal/min.
