There is a gauge on the Klamath River, just downstream from the dam at Keno, Oregon. The U.S. Geological Survey has posted flow rates for this gauge every month since 1930. The averages of these monthly measurements since 1930 are given in Table 2. Notice that the data in Table 2 measure the rate of change of the volume \(V\) in cubic feet of water each second over one year; that is, the table gives \(\dfrac{dV}{dt}=V^\prime (t)\) in \(\hbox{cubic feet per second}\), where \(t\) is in months.

January (1) | 1911.79 |
February (2) | 2045.40 |
March (3) | 2431.73 |

Find the factor that will convert the data in Table 2 from seconds to days. [Hint: \(1\) day \(=1\text {d} =24 \text{ hours } =24\text{h} (60\text{min}/\text{h}) = (24)(60)\text{min}\) (\(60\text{s}/\text{min}\)).]
If we assume February has \(28.25\) days, to account for a leap year, then 1 year \(=365.25\) days. If \(V^\prime (t)\) is the rate of flow of water, in \(\hbox{cubic feet per day}\), the total flow of water over 1 year is given by \[ V=V(t) =\int_{0}^{365.25}V^\prime (t) dt. \]
