About Kilolitres per day
The kilolitre per day (kL/d) equals 1/86400 ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁵ m³/s, the standard unit for per-household and per-property water-consumption billing in Australia. Sydney Water and other Australian utilities charge tariffs per kL/d consumed; a typical Australian household uses 0.6-1.0 kL/d. 1 kL/d = 1 m³/d ≈ 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.
