What are Gigaliter and Petaliter

A Gigaliter (GL) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equivalent to one billion liters. It is commonly used to measure large-scale water bodies or reservoirs. One Gigaliter represents a volume equal to a cube with sides of 100 meters. It's a significant measurement that reflects vast quantities, often used in discussions about global water usage and large-scale industrial processes.

A Petaliter (PL) is a volumetric unit in the metric system that equals one quadrillion liters. It's a massive scale of measurement, predominantly used in scientific and environmental contexts to discuss colossal volumes, such as the volume of large lakes, seas, or the water cycle on a planetary scale. One Petaliter can be visualized as a cube with 10-kilometer sides, encompassing a staggering amount of substance or space.
