About these units
Gigaliter (GL)
A gigaliter equals one billion liters or one million cubic meters. It is widely used when discussing very large natural or artificial water systems. Countries quantify national water reserves, lake capacities, and large-scale water transfers in gigaliters. For example, major reservoirs, such as those used for hydroelectric power generation, often have volumes in the tens of gigaliters. Environmental scientists use GL to describe groundwater extraction, rainfall totals across large regions, and freshwater availability. The GL helps quantify planetary-scale hydrological processes in a manageable numerical range.
Bath (Biblical) (bath)
A bath is a medium-scale Hebrew unit, estimated at about 22–23 liters. It was used for liquids such as wine and oil and appears in numerous Biblical passages relating to temple rituals and royal allocations. As 1/10 of a homer, the bath provided a manageable quantity for domestic and ritual purposes. References to baths of oil and wine in ancient texts reveal the significance of controlled measurement in both trade and religious offerings. Its size roughly corresponds to the volume of a modern bucket, emphasizing its practicality in daily life.
