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 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.
