Understanding the Conversion

Cubic Feet per Second (CFS) is a unit of flow rate that measures the volume of water passing through a point in a second, while Millions of Gallons per Day (MGD) is another unit that represents the same flow rate but in gallons per day.

The conversion formula used in this calculator is: MGD = CFS × 7.481 × 24 × 1,000,000

Where:
- CFS is the flow rate in cubic feet per second
- 7.481 is the number of gallons in a cubic foot
- 24 is the number of hours in a day
- 1,000,000 is the conversion factor to millions

When to Use This Calculator

This calculator is particularly useful for water treatment plants, environmental engineers, and anyone working with water flow measurements who needs to convert between CFS and MGD for reporting purposes, system design, or operational planning.
