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 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.
