What is the volume of 1 deciliter in liters?

One deciliter is equal to 0.1 liters or 100 milliliters.

Where is the megaliter commonly used?

Megaliters are used to measure large water volumes in hydrology, municipal water management, and irrigation.

Is this conversion suitable for precise small volume measurements?

No, converting small deciliters to megaliters may lose precision and is better suited for aggregated large volumes.
