What is a US gill used for?

A US gill is a traditional liquid volume unit historically employed in measuring small spirit or liqueur quantities and older recipes.

What does one megaliter represent?

One megaliter equals one million liters or one thousand cubic meters, commonly used to express large water volumes.

Why convert gill (US) to megaliter?

This conversion helps translate small historical liquid volumes into large metric units for tasks like hydrological analysis and documentation.
