Convert Litres per second to Megalitres per day
Convert Litres per second (L/s) to Megalitres per day (ML/d) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ML/d = L/s × 0.0864
About Litres per second
The litre per second (L/s) equals 10⁻³ m³/s, the standard unit for municipal water-supply engineering, fire-fighting flows, and HVAC system air handling. A fire hydrant delivers 15-30 L/s; a household mains water connection is typically 0.1-0.5 L/s; a large building HVAC chilled-water loop circulates 50-200 L/s. 1 L/s = 10⁻³ m³/s = 3.6 m³/h ≈ 15.85 US gal/min.
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.
