What is a megaliter used for?

A megaliter is used to express large water volumes such as municipal reservoir capacities, river discharges, and large-scale irrigation volumes.

Where is the UK barrel primarily used?

The UK barrel is primarily used for measuring volumes of beer, ale, and cider within British brewing and pub trade contexts.

Can I use this converter for US barrels?

No, this tool is specific to the UK barrel and should not be used for converting to or from US barrel units.
