What are Barrel and Megaliter

A barrel, commonly abbreviated as bbl, is a unit of volume used to measure the quantity of crude oil and other petroleum products. One barrel is equivalent to 42 US gallons, or about 159 liters. The use of barrels dates back to the mid-19th century in the Pennsylvania oil fields, and despite the metric system's prevalence in other industries, the oil sector still widely adopts the barrel as a standard measure worldwide.

A megaliter, denoted by ML, is a metric unit of volume that is equivalent to one million liters. It is commonly used to measure large quantities of liquid resources, such as water in reservoirs or total output from water treatment plants. The megaliter provides a convenient measure for industries and municipal services when dealing with vast volumes, facilitating easier communication, planning, and resource management.
