Conversion Formula

m³/d = ML/d × 1000

About Million litres per day

The million litres per day (ML/d or MLD) equals 1000/86400 ≈ 0.011574 m³/s, the standard capacity unit for water-treatment plants, sewage-treatment works, and desalination facilities in the UK, India, and much of the Commonwealth. A small town water-treatment works processes 5-20 ML/d; the Beckton Sewage Treatment Works in London treats ≈700 ML/d. 1 ML/d ≈ 0.011574 m³/s = 1 000 m³/d.

About Cubic metres per day

The cubic metre per day (m³/d) equals 1/86400 ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁵ m³/s, standard in water-resource management, desalination-plant capacity, and per-capita water-consumption accounting. A municipal desalination plant may produce 100 000-1 000 000 m³/d; the WHO minimum water supply requirement is 0.05 m³/d per person. 1 m³/d ≈ 1.157×10⁻⁵ m³/s = 264.2 US gal/d.
