Megaliter
A megaliter (ML) is a unit of volume equal to one million liters.
History/Origin
The megaliter is part of the metric system, introduced as a larger unit for measuring large volumes, especially in water management and environmental contexts, following the adoption of the metric system in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Current Use
Megaliters are used today in fields such as hydrology, water resource management, and environmental science to quantify large volumes of liquids, particularly water.
Exaliter
An exaliter (EL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^18 liters, used to measure extremely large quantities of liquid.
History/Origin
The exaliter was introduced as part of the metric system's extended prefixes to facilitate measurement of vast volumes, though it is rarely used in practical applications due to its enormous size.
Current Use
The exaliter is primarily used in scientific contexts, such as astrophysics and large-scale environmental studies, where measuring extremely large volumes is necessary.
