What is a megaliter (ML)?

A megaliter is a metric volume unit equal to one million liters, or one thousand cubic meters, used to measure large water volumes.

How is an acre-inch defined?

An acre-inch represents the volume covering one acre of area to a uniform depth of one inch, approximately 102.79 cubic meters.

Why convert from megaliters to acre-inch?

Converting helps relate large metric water volumes to agricultural units used in irrigation planning, water rights, and reservoir management.
