"Conversion Factors" 1 cubic foot of water = 7.48 gallons 1 cubic foot of water = 62.5 pounds 32 cubic feet of water = 1 ton 43,560 cubic feet = 1 acre-foot 1 cfs = 7.48 gallons per second 1 cfs = 448.8 gallons per minute 1 cfs = 646,317 gallons per day 1 cubic meter = 35.314 cubic feet Enter CF/S (In the line above the "Discharge" graph)      or CM/S        Gallons     Tons     Acre-feet per second   Gallons     Tons     Acre-feet per minute   Gallons     Tons     Acre-feet per hour   Gallons     Tons     Acre-feet per day
"Recalibration of the gauge" The report for the peak flow during Tropical Storm Irene on August 29, 2011 was 2610 cubic feet per second (CFS).  A month later, the flow numbers were modified, and the peak flow was restated as 2180 CFS.  It appears as if the flows at heights over 8.5 feet had been overstated in the past.  Since the conversion table has been revised, we have restated the prior high flows using the new conversion table.  We do not know if the government has also restated the old records.
