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 US gallons per day

The US gallon per day (gpd) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/86400 ≈ 4.381×10⁻⁸ m³/s, the standard unit in US water-utility regulation and residential water-well pump sizing. The US national average residential water use is about 80-100 gpd per person; a reverse-osmosis membrane module is rated in gpd (50-100 gpd for domestic units). 1 US gpd ≈ 4.381×10⁻⁸ m³/s.
