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 US barrels per second

The US barrel per second (bbl/s) equals 0.158987294928 m³/s, an extremely large flow rate used only for catastrophic spill-rate estimates and very large pipeline surge calculations. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill peaked at ≈60 000 bbl/d ≈ 0.000694 bbl/s; major subsea pipeline ruptures may briefly exceed 1 bbl/s during decompression. 1 US bbl/s = 0.158987 m³/s ≈ 158.987 L/s.
