About Cubic foot per second (ft³/s)
An imperial flow-rate unit used in US hydrology, river discharge measurement, and large-scale water-supply engineering. Also called "cusec" in water-resources jargon. Typical US river flow-rate reports (USGS streamgages) use cfs. A rainstorm runoff event in a small watershed might reach 100–500 cfs. 1 ft³/s = 7.48 gallons/second ≈ 28.3 L/s.
About Liter per minute (L/min)
A metric flow-rate unit commonly used for household appliances, medical devices (IV pumps, ventilators), dispensing equipment, and small-flow industrial processes. A shower head in a metric country is typically 8–12 L/min; a garden hose is 10–30 L/min. L/min is the default unit for oxygen delivery in medicine (nasal cannula at 1–5 L/min).
