What is the conversion rate from kiloliters to megaliters?

One kiloliter equals 0.001 megaliters.

In which fields is converting kiloliters to megaliters commonly applied?

It is often used in hydrology, water resource management, municipal water treatment, and large irrigation systems.

Why might precision be lost when converting small volumes to megaliters?

Because megaliters represent much larger volumes, converting very small kiloliter values can result in loss of precision.
