Convert Cubic metres per day to Megalitres per day
Convert Cubic metres per day (m³/d) to Megalitres per day (ML/d) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ML/d = m³/d × 0.001
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 Megalitres per day
The megalitre per day (ML/d) equals 1000/86400 ≈ 0.011574 m³/s, numerically identical to million litres per day. It is the preferred notation in Australian water-authority reporting, environmental flow assessments, and reservoir storage accounting. Murray-Darling Basin environmental flows are specified in ML/d; urban water utilities publish reservoir capacity and daily draw in ML/d. 1 ML/d ≈ 0.011574 m³/s = 1 000 m³/d.
