We measured flow rate in feet per second

What is flow rate?

~Flow rate is the rate the water is moving at.~

What is it for?

Flow rate helps the water go the fish’s gills. When the fish rest they don’t move. If the fish don’t have water going through there gills to live they either have to be moving or there has to be a flow rate pushing the water though there gills.
