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]

Conversion

1 tmcft. is equivalent to:

1,000,000,000 cubic feet (28,000,000 m³) (approx.)
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 see 1 TMC water is needed for providing water to irrigate 10,000 acres.
