About Converting Cubic foot per Minutes to Megaliter per Years
Cubic foot per Minutes and Megaliter per Years both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Cubic foot per Minutes is most often used for the standard unit for rating hvac airflow, compressed-air equipment output, and fan/blower performance.
Formula
megaliter per years = cubic foot per minutes × 14.8932228116
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, and 1 megaliter per years equals 0.0000316887385068 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per minutes-to-megaliter per years factor of 14.8932228116.
Simple example
1 ft3/min × 14.89322281 = 14.89322281 ML/yr
1 cubic foot per minutes = 14.89322281 megaliter per years.
Real-world example
60 ft3/min × 14.89322281 = 893.5933687 ML/yr
60 cubic foot per minutes = 893.5933687 megaliter per years.

What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
