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.
Taza (Spanish) (taza)
A taza is a Spanish cup commonly defined as 250 mL, though older regional variations ranged between 200 and 300 mL. Used extensively in Spanish and Latin American cooking, baking, and beverage preparation, the taza serves a role similar to the US or metric cup. Because many Spanish recipes rely on the taza, understanding its modern standardized value helps ensure accurate international recipe translation. It also reflects how culinary practices shape measurement conventions.
