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.

About Cubic Kilometers

A cubic kilometre (km³) = 10⁹ m³ = 10¹² L. Lake Baikal: 23,615 km³ (world's largest freshwater lake by volume). Amazon River discharge: ~6,600 km³/year. Earth's total freshwater: ~35,000,000 km³; oceans: ~1,335,000,000 km³. Glaciologists track polar ice-sheet losses in km³/year as a key climate metric. 1 km³ = 10⁹ m³.
