    Answer:

Streamflow, or discharge, is the volume of water flowing past a fixed point in a fixed unit of time. For water flow in streams, the U.S. Geological Survey expresses the value in cubic feet per second (ft3/s). For example, when rain has not fallen for a while, Peachtree Creek often is at a baseflow stage of about 3 feet. The rating curve may show that at a stream stage of 3 feet streamflow is 76 ft3/s. Since one cubic foot of water contains 7.48 gallons, it might be easier to understand this streamflow value if you consider that 76 ft3/s is about 568 gallons of water flowing each second.
