What is a board foot?

A board foot is a unit of volume for lumber equal to a board 1 foot long, 1 foot wide, and 1 inch thick, approximately 2.36 liters.

What does a megaliter measure?

A megaliter (ML) is a metric volume unit equal to 1,000,000 liters or 1,000 cubic meters, used in hydrology and engineering for large water volumes.

Why would someone convert board foot to megaliters?

This conversion helps compare or integrate lumber volume data with large-scale water volumes in environmental or engineering contexts.
