Gigaliter
A gigaliter (GL) is a unit of volume equal to one billion liters (10^9 liters).
History/Origin
The gigaliter is part of the metric system, introduced as a standard unit for large-scale volume measurements, especially in environmental and industrial contexts, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Gigaliters are used to measure large quantities of liquids, such as water resources, in environmental studies, water management, and large-scale industrial processes.
Cubic Mile
A cubic mile is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with sides measuring one mile each.
History/Origin
The cubic mile has been used historically in measuring large quantities of volume, particularly in geography and geology, especially in the context of large-scale water or earth volume measurements. Its usage stems from the imperial and US customary measurement systems.
Current Use
Today, the cubic mile is primarily used in scientific and environmental contexts to quantify large-scale volumes such as water reservoirs, oil reserves, and geological formations.
