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.
Quart (US) (qt (US))
A US quart equals 32 US fluid ounces or 946 milliliters, exactly 1/4 of a US gallon. It is commonly used for milk, juice, motor oil, and household chemicals. The quart's convenient scale makes it ideal for medium-sized liquid quantities—larger than a pint but smaller than a gallon. It remains widely used in American kitchens, automotive maintenance, and everyday shopping. Like other US customary units, the quart persists because consumers and industries have longstanding infrastructures built around it.
