| Multiply | By | To obtain |
|---|---|---|
| foot (ft) | 0.3048 | meter |
| gallon (gal) | 3.785 | liter |
| liter per minute (L/min) | 0.2642 | gallon per minute |
| mile (mi) | 1.609 | kilometer |
| square mile (mi2) | 2.590 | square kilometer |
Temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) may be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) as follows:
°F=(1.8×°C)+32
Specific conductance is given in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius (µS/cm at 25°C).
Concentrations of chemical constituents in water are given either in milligrams per liter (mg/L), micrograms per liter (µg/L), or picocuries per liter (piC/L).
Vertical coordinate information is referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29).
Horizontal coordinate information is referenced to the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27).
Altitude, as used in this report, refers to distance above the vertical datum.
