About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Megaliter per Hours
Cubic foot per Seconds and Megaliter per Hours 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 hours = cubic foot per seconds × 0.101940647731
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 hours equals 0.277777777778 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-megaliter per hours factor of 0.101940647731.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 0.1019406477 = 0.1019406477 ML/h
1 cubic foot per seconds = 0.1019406477 megaliter per hours.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 0.1019406477 = 6.116438864 ML/h
60 cubic foot per seconds = 6.116438864 megaliter per hours.

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.
