A megaliter is a metric volume unit equal to 1,000,000 litres, commonly used to express large water volumes in hydrology and engineering.

How many drops are in one megaliter?

One megaliter equals 20,000,000,000 drops based on the common approximation for drop volume.

Is the drop a standardized unit?

No, a drop is an informal unit of volume that varies depending on liquid properties and dispensing methods.
