Online Water Calculator to Convert CFS (Cubic Feet Per Second) into GPS, GPM, GPD, GPA, AFA, MI or CFA 

The free calculator on this page will convert cubic feet per second (CFS) into the following volume/flow quantities:

  • GPS - gallons per second
  • GPM - gallons per minute
  • GPD - gallons per day
  • GPA - gallons per annum
  • AFA - acre feet per annum
  • MI - miners inches (see the discussion on different MI standards)
  • CFA - cubit feet per annum

Flow rates in CFS are common in older water right claims.  The calculator is easy to use and should save you some time.

Formulas Used in the Calculator
1 CFS = 7.4805 gps
1 CFS = 448.83 gpm
1 CFS = 646,316.883 gpd
1 CFS = 235,905,662 gpa
1 CFS = 50 MI *
1 CFS = 40 MI *
1 CFS = 38.4 MI *
1 CFS = 723.97 AFA

1 CFS = 31,536,000 CFA

* See the Miner's Inch page

DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk, and doublecheck the math with your own calculator. You should also check with your hydrologist or water lawyer to make sure that the formulas are correct for your state. The calculator will work with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Netscape 6.0 (and higher).  Results are rounded off.

 How to use the calculator. (1) Enter the number of AFA you wish to convert in the top of the form. DO NOT USE COMMAS. (2) Select gpm, CFS, or CFM. (3) Click "Calculate. The converted expression will appear in the last box (conversion). If you selected CFS, the converted figure is an expression in CFS. To recalculate with a different expression (for example, gpm instead of CFS), be sure to select gpm, and click the calculate button again so that the math will reset. If you don't understand this, experiment using 1 AFA. The results will match the formula above.
