Cusec

Cusec is a way of measuring how much water is moving through a river or a stream. It's kinda like measuring how much juice you can drink from your juice box in one gulp.

Scientists and engineers use a special tool called a flow meter to measure cusecs. They put it in the water and it counts how many gallons of water are moving through the river in one second. The bigger the number, the more water is moving!

Cusecs are important because they help us understand how much water we have in our rivers and streams. This information can help us make decisions about how to use our water resources, like for drinking or growing crops. It can also help us know when there might be too much water moving through a river, which could lead to flooding.
