About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Cubic Meter per Weeks
Cubic foot per Seconds and Cubic Meter per Weeks 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 Seconds is most often used for the standard unit used by the us geological survey for reporting river and stream discharge at gauging stations.
Formula
cubic meter per weeks = cubic foot per seconds × 17126.0288188
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per seconds equals 0.028316846592 base units, and 1 cubic meter per weeks equals 0.00000165343915344 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-cubic meter per weeks factor of 17126.0288188.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 17126.02882 = 17,126.02882 m3/wk
1 cubic foot per seconds = 17,126.02882 cubic meter per weeks.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 17126.02882 = 1,027,561.729 m3/wk
60 cubic foot per seconds = 1,027,561.729 cubic meter per weeks.

Where is the cubic foot per seconds still used today?
United States
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.
