The foot per second is also a relatively small unit of measurement making it difficult for use on a larger scale. The meter per second is the preferred measurement in scientific contexts, and either miles per hour or kilometers per hour are more common in everyday use for describing road speeds. History/origin: The foot per second is a measurement based in systems like the imperial and United States customary systems of units, where the foot is the preferred unit of length.Ĭurrent use: The foot per second is not widely used. It is also equal to 0.592484 knots and 0.681818 miles per hour. It is equal to 0.3048 meters per second, the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of speed and velocity. Feet per secondĭefinition: A foot per second (symbol: ft/s) is a unit of speed and velocity that expresses the time taken in seconds to travel a specific distance in feet. foot per hour ft/h meter per second 8.46667E-05 foot per minute ft/min meter per second 0.00508 foot per second ft/s meter per second 0.3048 inch per minute in/min meter per second 0. It is also used in the Canadian rail system, though the Canadian road systems use km/h. It is most widely used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and their related territories. One mph equals exactly 1.609344 kilometers per hour (km/h).Ĭurrent use: Along with km/h, mph is most typically used in relation to road traffic speeds. It expresses the number of statute miles traveled over the period of one hour. The outflow has since decreased on Monday morning to around 2,000 CFS.Definition: The unit miles per hour (symbol: mph) is a measurement of speed in the imperial and United States customary systems.

They peaked that outflow at 2,700 CFS on Friday. Nashem says they have incrementally increased the Bowman Dam outflow by 500 to 700 cubic feet per second (CFS) since April 25th. improves from ‘exceptional’ drought status for 1st time in 2 years So, we have a temporary green out in front for 16,” Lampert said. 16 has a temporary green because the water has surrounded the green so it’s an island but you cant get to it. It’s a little bit inconvenient, but overall it’s not too impactful at this point,” Lampert said.Īll holes on the course are still open, but temporary changes have been made to a couple.

They can’t get through it, so we have to close that one and reroute the golfers over the No. It’s too high on the side they drive down on. RELATED: Streamflows rise into Ochoco and Prineville reservoirs hope for farmers

Head Golf Professional and Facilities Manager at Meadow Lakes Zach Lampert says alterations to the course have been made.

In some lower lying areas of Prineville, the river is flowing over its banks, especially at Meadow Lakes Golf course. “To alleviate some of the pressure of the reservoir and knowing how much more snow we got up in the mountains, they wanted to release a bit more water out of the reservoir.” “Those flows have been filling the reservoir wonderfully,” Nashem said. I t’s due to warmer weather melting this year’s above average snowpack, which can put a strain on the Prineville reservoir. The Crooked River is flowing through Prineville at its highest water levels since 2019, according to Crooked River water master Bill Nashem. Have you checked out Central Oregon Daily News on YouTube?
