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.
Pint (UK) (pt (UK))
The UK pint, defined as 568.261 mL, is famous for its role in British pub culture. Beer and cider are traditionally served in pints, and the unit remains legally protected in pubs to this day. The pint is also used for milk and other daily-use liquids in the UK, maintaining its relevance even after metrication. Its larger size compared to the US pint (473 mL) is often a point of international curiosity. More than a measurement, the pint represents a cultural icon deeply woven into British identity and tradition.
