Why convert cubic kilometers to kiloliters?

To express very large volumes in units that are more practical and relatable for industrial, environmental, and engineering contexts.

Are kiloliters suitable for measuring very large volumes?

Kiloliters are best for smaller to moderate volumes; extremely large volumes may result in very large numbers that might be better expressed using scientific notation.
