Learn how to use the CFS to MGD conversion calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the flow rate in cubic feet per second (CFS) in the input field.
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to convert the flow rate to million gallons per day (MGD).
  3. The result will be displayed in the MGD field.
  4. Use the "Reset" button to clear the input and result fields.

Working Principle

The conversion from CFS to MGD is based on the following formula:

MGD = CFS × 694.44

This conversion factor is derived from the fact that 1 cubic foot of water is approximately equal to 7.48 gallons, and there are 86,400 seconds in a day. Therefore, 1 CFS is equal to 7.48 gallons per second, which is equivalent to 647,480 gallons per day or approximately 694.44 MGD.
