What are Gigaliter and Acre-inch

A gigaliter (GL) is a unit of volume measurement in the metric system, equivalent to one billion liters. It is commonly used for measuring large-scale water bodies, reservoir capacities, or regional water consumption. The gigaliter helps in quantifying substantial volumes in a manageable numerical form, thereby facilitating easier communication and comparison of large quantities.

An acre-inch (ac-in) is a unit of volume measurement used primarily in agriculture and irrigation. It represents the volume of water that would cover one acre of land to a depth of one inch. This equates to 27,154 gallons, or approximately 102.79 cubic meters. The acre-inch is a practical unit for measuring water usage on farms and in irrigation systems, translating abstract measurements into tangible field applications.
