About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Megaliter per Decades
Cubic foot per Seconds and Megaliter per Decades 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
megaliter per decades = cubic foot per seconds × 8935.93368695
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 megaliter per decades equals 0.00000316887385068 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-megaliter per decades factor of 8935.93368695.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 8935.933687 = 8,935.933687 ML/decade
1 cubic foot per seconds = 8,935.933687 megaliter per decades.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 8935.933687 = 536,156.0212 ML/decade
60 cubic foot per seconds = 536,156.0212 megaliter per decades.

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 megaliter per decades?
Megaliter per Decades (ML/decade) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per seconds to megaliter per decades 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.
