What does CUSEC mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A unit of the rate of flow of a liquid, equal to one cubic foot per second.
A cusec is used mainly by engineers and hydrologists to state how much water moves past a point in a river, canal, or spillway every second. The word is a blend of cubic and second, built the same way as similar flow units used in other countries. Engineers managing irrigation systems and flood control still rely on the cusec to compare the capacity of channels and the output of pumps.
