What is the equivalent of 1 cu ft/sec in mgd?

To convert cubic feet per second (cu ft/sec) to million gallons per day (mgd), it's important to understand the relationships between these units of measurement.

1 cubic foot is equivalent to approximately 7.48 gallons. Therefore, to convert 1 cubic foot per second to gallons, you multiply by 7.48.

First, calculating for 1 cu ft/sec to gallons per day involves the following steps:

1. Convert cu ft to gallons:

(1 \text{ cu ft} \times 7.48 \text{ gallons/cu ft} = 7.48 \text{ gallons}).

2. Convert gallons per second to gallons per day:

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. Therefore, you multiply the gallons per second by the number of seconds in a day:

(7.48 \text{ gallons} \times 86,400 \text{ seconds/day} \approx 645,120 \text{ gallons/day}).

3. Convert gallons to million gallons:

Since 1 million gallons is 1,000,000 gallons, you divide by 1,000,000:

(645,120 \
