Convert Cubic metres per day to Kilolitres per second
Convert Cubic metres per day (m³/d) to Kilolitres per second (kL/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kL/s = m³/d × 1.157407407e-5
About Cubic metres per day
The cubic metre per day (m³/d) equals 1/86400 ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁵ m³/s, standard in water-resource management, desalination-plant capacity, and per-capita water-consumption accounting. A municipal desalination plant may produce 100 000-1 000 000 m³/d; the WHO minimum water supply requirement is 0.05 m³/d per person. 1 m³/d ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁵ m³/s = 264.2 US gal/d.
About Kilolitres per second
The kilolitre per second (kL/s) equals 1 m³/s, so 1 kL/s is identical to 1 m³/s. The term kilolitre is favoured in Australian and South African engineering over the equivalent cubic metre per second. Municipal water-main flow and stormwater-channel capacity are sometimes expressed in kL/s in these countries. 1 kL/s = 1 m³/s = 1 000 L/s ≈ 15 850 US gal/min.
