What is a gallon (UK)?

A gallon (UK), also called the imperial gallon, is a volume unit defined as exactly 4.54609 litres and is used in specifying larger liquid volumes, especially in imperial measurement contexts.

When is the cubic mile used?

The cubic mile measures very large volumes such as those of lakes, reservoirs, geological formations, and is used in hydrology, environmental science, and earth sciences.

Why convert from gallon (UK) to cubic mile?

This conversion helps express very large liquid volumes in a more understandable scale, especially in natural, geological, or environmental settings.
