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.

About Cups

A cup = 8 fl oz = 16 tbsp ≈ 236.6 mL - the fundamental unit of American cooking. Almost every US recipe uses cups for dry and liquid ingredients. The US customary cup (236.588 mL) differs from the US legal cup (240 mL, used in nutrition labelling) and the metric cup (Australia/Canada: 250 mL). Kitchen sets come in 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup sizes. 2 cups = 1 US pint.
