UNITS AND CONVERSION FACTORS
1 cubic foot of water weighs 62.3832 lb
1 gallon of water weighs 8.34 lb
1 liter of water weighs 1,000 gm
State Water Resources Control Board
1 mg/L = 1 part per million (ppm)
1% = 10,000 ppm
ft²= square feet and ft² = cubic feet
1 mile = 5,280 feet (ft)
1 yd³=27ft² and 1 yard = 3 feet
1 acre (a) = 43,560 square feet (ft²)
1 acre foot = 325,851 gallons
1 cubic foot (ft³) = 7.48 gallons (gal)
1 gal = 3.785 liters (L)
1 L = 1,000 milliliters (ml)
1 pound (lb) = 454 grams (gm)
1 lb = 7,000 grains (gr)
1 grain per gallon (gpg) = 17.1 mg/L
1 gm = 1,000 milligrams (mg)
1 day = 24 hr = 1,440 min = 86,400 sec
1,000,000 gal/day + 86,400 sec/day+ 7.48 gal/cu ft
= 1.55 cu ft/sec/MGD
