Conversion Factors

Multiply	By	To obtain
cubic foot (ft³)	0.02832	cubic meter
cubic mile (mi³)	4.168	cubic kilometer
foot (ft)	0.3048	meter
foot per day (ft/d)	0.3048	meter per day
foot squared per day (ft²/d)	0.09290	meter squared per day
gallon (gal)	0.003785	cubic meter
gallon per minute per foot [(gal/min)/ ft)]	0.2070	liter per second per meter
mile (mi)	1.609	kilometer
square foot (ft²)	0.09290	square meter
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

Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) may be converted to degrees Celsius (°C) as follows:

°C=(°F-32)/1.8

Datums

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.

*Transmissivity: The standard unit for transmissivity is cubic foot per day per square foot times foot of aquifer thickness [(ft³/d)/ft²]ft. In this report, the mathematically reduced form, foot squared per day (ft²/d), is used for convenience.
