What is a megaliter used for?

A megaliter measures large water volumes such as reservoir capacities, river discharges, and large irrigation projects.

Why convert megaliters to UK quarts?

Conversion helps interpret large metric volumes in traditional UK imperial units found in historical records or older recipes.

Is the UK quart still commonly used?

The UK quart is an older measure and is less common in modern scientific contexts, which prefer metric units like litres.
