Convert Litres per day to Kilolitres per second
Convert Litres per day (L/d) to Kilolitres per second (kL/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kL/s = L/d × 1.157407407e-8
About Litres per day
The litre per day (L/d) equals 10⁻³/86400 ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁸ m³/s, standard in water-resource management, reverse-osmosis membrane rating, and daily per-capita water-use statistics. A residential reverse-osmosis unit produces 100-300 L/d of purified water; the WHO minimum for basic household use is 50 L/d per person. 1 L/d ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁸ m³/s.
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.
