What are Gigaliter and Cubic Kilometer

A gigaliter (GL) is a volumetric unit of measurement that is part of the metric system. It represents one billion liters, where 'giga' denotes a factor of a billion (10^9). It is commonly used in measuring large-scale water bodies or reservoir capacities. One gigaliter is equivalent to a cube with edges of 100 meters each, encompassing a million cubic meters of space.

A cubic kilometer (km^3) is a unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI), representing the volume of a cube with edges one kilometer in length. It is a measure used to quantify substantial volumes, such as those of lakes, seas, or large basins. One cubic kilometer equals a trillion liters, making it an essential unit for hydrology and geoscience.
