About Cubic Feet
A cubic foot (ft³) is the volume of a cube with sides of one foot (30.48 cm), equal to approximately 28.317 liters. It is widely used in US construction, HVAC engineering, natural gas distribution, and real estate. Natural gas consumption is billed in cubic feet (Ccf = 100 ft³, Mcf = 1,000 ft³); refrigerator, oven, and storage compartment capacity are rated in cubic feet; and concrete or soil orders are quoted in cubic yards or cubic feet. One cubic foot of water weighs approximately 62.4 pounds. Air conditioning units are sized in BTU per hour for room volumes measured in cubic feet.
About Megaliters
A megaliter (ML) = 10⁶ L = 1,000 m³. Australian and New Zealand water utilities report consumption and storage in ML; dam storage levels are broadcast in ML on national weather services. An Olympic swimming pool holds 2.5 ML. Sydney's total drinking water storage >2.6 million ML. 1 ML = 10⁶ L = 1,000 m³.
