A megaliter (ML) is a metric volume unit equal to 1,000,000 litres or 1,000 cubic metres, commonly used in hydrology and engineering for large water volumes.

How much volume does a metric cup represent?

A metric cup is defined as exactly 250 millilitres, which is one quarter of a litre, used primarily for culinary and nutritional measurements.

Why convert megaliters to metric cups?

This conversion helps translate large water volumes into smaller, practical units often used in cooking and nutritional contexts.
