About these units
Megaliter (ML)
A megaliter is one million liters, equivalent to 1,000 cubic meters. It is used in large-scale water management, including municipal supply systems, reservoirs, agricultural irrigation planning, and hydroengineering. City planners and hydrologists often express daily water consumption in megaliters per day (ML/day). For example, a medium-sized city might use anywhere from 50 to several hundred ML daily. The unit is especially helpful because it bridges the gap between the cubic meter (too small for city-scale usage) and the gigaliter (too large for many practical applications). As water scarcity and climate resilience become critical global issues, the megaliter continues to be a foundational measurement in environmental science and infrastructure planning.
Gill (UK) (gi (UK))
A UK gill equals 142 mL, traditionally used in measuring spirits, whiskey, beer, and cooking ingredients. The gill was once a common pub measure, with quarter-gill and half-gill servings used before modern standardized alcohol units replaced them. While now mostly obsolete, the gill is still recognized in historical cocktail recipes, British literature, and the study of older trade practices.
