About Converting Cubic foot per Seconds to Metric teaspoon per Years
Cubic foot per Seconds and Metric teaspoon 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
metric teaspoon per years = cubic foot per seconds × 178718673739
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 metric teaspoon per years equals 1.584437e-13 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per seconds-to-metric teaspoon per years factor of 178718673739.
Simple example
1 ft3/s × 178718673700 = 178,718,673,700 metric tsp/yr
1 cubic foot per seconds = 178,718,673,700 metric teaspoon per years.
Real-world example
60 ft3/s × 178718673700 = 1.072312e+13 metric tsp/yr
60 cubic foot per seconds = 1.072312e+13 metric teaspoon per years.

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.
