About UK gallons per day
The UK gallon per day (gpd) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/86400 ≈ 5.261×10⁻⁸ m³/s, used in British per-capita water-consumption statistics and pre-metric water-authority regulation. Historic UK Water Acts set minimum supply standards in UK gal/d per household; older UK borehole pump test reports quote sustained yield in UK gal/d. 1 UK gpd ≈ 5.261×10⁻⁸ m³/s.
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.
