About Gallon per hour (GPH)

A US flow-rate unit for slow/metered flows. Used on aquarium pumps, water-feature recirculators, irrigation drip emitters, oil burners, fuel-dispensing meters, and some industrial dosing equipment. Boat fuel-flow meters also report fuel consumption in GPH, a useful figure for cruising range calculations.

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.
