The majority of the river's flow drains into Lake Michigan via the Indiana Harbor and Ship Canal, sending about 1,500 cubic feet (42 m 3) per second of water into the lake. A smaller part of the flow, at the river's western end, enters the Calumet River , and through the Illinois ultimately drains into the Mississippi River .

The minimum 7-day flow was 989 cubic feet per second (28.0 m 3 /s), on September 5–12, 1966. [ 6 ] Before the damming of Shasta Lake in the 1940s, the annual flow of the Pit River was about four times the size of the Sacramento at their confluence, making it the true hydrological source of the Sacramento River system.

The IEEE symbol for the cubic foot per second is ft 3 /s. [1] The following other abbreviations are also sometimes used: ft 3 /sec; cu ft/s; cfs or CFS; cusec; second-feet; The flow or discharge of rivers, i.e., the volume of water passing a location per unit of time, is commonly expressed in units of cubic feet per second or cubic metres per second.
As the name suggests, an acre-foot is defined as the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot.. Since an acre is defined as a chain by a furlong (i.e. 66 ft × 660 ft or 20.12 m × 201.17 m), an acre-foot is 43,560 cubic feet (1,233.5 m 3).
The peak annual discharge of Abrahams Creek 2,000 feet (610 m) upstream of US Route 11 has a 10 percent chance of reaching 980 cubic feet per second (28 m 3 /s). It has a 2 percent chance of reaching 1,850 cubic feet per second (52 m 3 /s) and a 1 percent chance of reaching 2,400 cubic feet per second (68 m 3 /s).
This volume measurement was developed to estimate what volume of a round log would be usable timber after processing, in effect attempting to ‘square’ the log and allow for waste. The hoppus ton (HT) was also a traditionally used unit of volume in British forestry. One hoppus ton is equal to 50 hoppus feet or 1.8027 cubic meters.
