About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Imperial quart per Years
Cubic foot per Seconds and Imperial quart 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 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
imperial quart per years = cubic foot per seconds × 786252246.388
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 imperial quart per years equals 3.601496e-11 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-imperial quart per years factor of 786252246.388.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 786252246.4 = 786,252,246.4 imp qt/yr
1 cubic foot per seconds = 786,252,246.4 imperial quart per years.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 786252246.4 = 47,175,134,780 imp qt/yr
60 cubic foot per seconds = 47,175,134,780 imperial quart per years.

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.
