About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Kiloliter per Weeks
Cubic foot per Seconds and Kiloliter 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
kiloliter 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 kiloliter per weeks equals 0.00000165343915344 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-kiloliter per weeks factor of 17126.0288188.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 17126.02882 = 17,126.02882 kL/wk
1 cubic foot per seconds = 17,126.02882 kiloliter per weeks.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 17126.02882 = 1,027,561.729 kL/wk
60 cubic foot per seconds = 1,027,561.729 kiloliter per weeks.

What is a cubic foot per seconds?
Cubic foot per Seconds (ft3/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One cubic foot of volume passing a point every second. It is classified as a US customary flow-rate unit.
What is a kiloliter per weeks?
Kiloliter per Weeks (kL/wk) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per seconds to kiloliter per weeks conversion exact?

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.
