About US quarts per hour

The US quart per hour (qt/h) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/4/3600 ≈ 2.629×10⁻⁷ m³/s, used in US agricultural irrigation drippers (emitters rated in qt/h) and hobby aquaculture systems. A drip emitter rated 1 qt/h ≈ 0.946 L/h is a common size for garden irrigation in the US market. 1 US qt/h ≈ 2.629×10⁻⁷ m³/s.

About Acre-feet per second

The acre-foot per second (ac-ft/s) equals 1233.48183754752 m³/s, an enormous unit representing the flow that would fill a football-field-sized area to 1 ft depth every second. It appears in descriptions of exceptionally large dam-break flood waves and major river-system extreme events. The 1976 Teton Dam collapse peak outflow was estimated at ≈65 000 ft³/s ≈ 1.49 ac-ft/s. 1 ac-ft/s = 1 233.48 m³/s.
