1 MW ≈ 8.1 Cusecs
At 1,000 MW SGS load, upstream inflow entering Gerusoppa is ~8,100 Cusecs.
1 Unit ≈ 4,800 CFS
1 Unit discharges 4,800 – 5,700 Cusecs (~80–95 Cusecs/MW) depending on head.
MDDL: 43.5m | FRL: 55.0m
Gate warning threshold at 54.80 m (1 hour prior to reaching full reservoir level).
1 Mcft/hr = 277.8 CFS
1 Cusec = 1 ft³/s (28.32 L/s) · 1 TMC = 1,000 Million ft³.
