About Kiloliters
A kiloliter (kL) = 1,000 L = 1 m³. Preferred in water management over 'cubic metre'. Municipal water bills in Australia and South Africa are issued in kL; pool and tank volumes are described in kL. A standard bathtub ≈0.3 kL; Olympic swimming pool 2,500 kL; annual household water use 50-150 kL/person. 1 kL = 1,000 L = 1 m³.
