What are Hogshead and Megaliter

A hogshead is a large barrel or cask used traditionally for storing and transporting goods. While the exact size can vary, in terms of wine, a hogshead typically holds about 63 to 140 gallons, which is roughly 238 to 530 liters.

A megaliter (ML) is a metric unit of volume, equivalent to 1,000,000 liters or 1,000 cubic meters. It's a standard measurement used prominently in public works and engineering for large-scale water reservoirs, dam capacities, and large fluid containment. The megaliter provides a convenient unit for expressing vast quantities of liquid, such as in municipal water supply systems or agricultural irrigation.
