What is a cubic yard per minute?

A cubic yard per minute measures volumetric flow as one cubic yard passing a point every minute, used in applications like pumping or dredging.

Why convert cubic yard/minute to cubic foot/second?

Converting helps standardize flow rates for comparison or integration with hydrological and engineering systems that use cubic foot/second units.

Can this conversion be used in environmental hydrology?

Yes, cubic foot/second is common in hydrology for river and stream flow reporting, making the conversion useful in environmental contexts.
