Convert Megalitres per day to Litres per minute
Convert Megalitres per day (ML/d) to Litres per minute (L/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
L/min = ML/d × 694.4444444
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.
About Litres per minute
The litre per minute (L/min) equals 10⁻³/60 ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ m³/s, one of the most common flow units in consumer and light-industrial applications. Household washing machines use 10-15 L/min; oxygen concentrators deliver 1-10 L/min to patients; a standard garden sprinkler head discharges 15-30 L/min. 1 L/min ≈ 1.667×10⁻⁵ m³/s ≈ 0.2642 US gal/min.
