Quick and Easy Conversion Table - Water Flow Rates and Volume Conversions

The conversion table below is for water flow rates and water volume equivalencies between CFS (cubic feet per second), GPM (gallons per minute), AFA (acre-feet per annum) and MI (miner's inches). The MI standard in this table is 40 MI per CFS (see the discusison on variable definitions for MI standards on the miner's inch page). The table below is for reference only, and no representations are made to its accuracy.
