It is equal to a volume of water one foot high and one foot wide flowing a distance of one foot in one second. One 'cfs' is equal to 7.48 gallons of water flowing each second. As an example, if your car's gas tank is 2 feet by 1 foot by 1 foot (2 cubic feet), then gas flowing at a rate of 1 cubic foot/second would fill the tank in two seconds'.
