What does hundred-cubic foot per day measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate equal to 100 cubic feet of fluid passing a point in one day, often used for small continuous flows.

Where is cubic yard per second typically used?

It is commonly used in U.S. customary engineering to express large flow rates like river discharge and stormwater management.

Why are conversion values very small when converting these units?

Because the units represent flow over vastly different time intervals, with one measured per day and the other per second.
