About Converting Gallon per Minutes to Cubic yard per Months
Gallon per Minutes and Cubic yard per Months 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. Gallon per Minutes is most often used for us residential and commercial plumbing fixture flow ratings.
Formula
cubic yard per months = gallon per minutes × 217.003645833
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gallon per minutes equals 0.0000630901964 base units, and 1 cubic yard per months equals 2.907333e-7 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per minutes-to-cubic yard per months factor of 217.003645833.
Simple example
1 gal/min × 217.0036458 = 217.0036458 yd3/mo
1 gallon per minutes = 217.0036458 cubic yard per months.
Real-world example
60 gal/min × 217.0036458 = 13,020.21875 yd3/mo
60 gallon per minutes = 13,020.21875 cubic yard per months.

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.
