Tmcft
Tmcft, (Tmc ft), (TMC), (tmc), is the abbreviation of one thousand million cubic feet (1,000,000,000 = 109 = 1 billion), commonly used in India in reference to volume of water in a reservoir[1] or river flow.[2][failed verification]
Conversion
1 tmcft. is equivalent to:
- 1,000,000,000 cubic feet (28,000,000 m3) (approx)
- 2831 crore litres
- 2.83168466×1010 litres
- 2.83168466×107 cubic metres
- 22,956.841139 acre feet
- 6.228835459×109 imperial gallons
Alternatively, 35.32 tmcft = 1 cubic kilometer (km³ is the standard unit used by Central Water Commission of Government of India for reporting gross and effective storage capacities of dams in India in National Register of Large Dams- NRLD). The amount water that can be discharged through a conduit per second in a cubic feet is described as cusec.
In agriculture, a rough estimate by irrigation experts is that 1 TMC water is needed each year to irrigate 10,000 acres.[3]
