Definition
The megaliter is a unit of volume equal to one million liters (10⁶ L), or 1,000 cubic meters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 ML = 10⁶ L = 1,000 m³ = 1,000 kL. One gigaliter = 1,000 ML.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 10⁶. To cubic meters: multiply by 1,000. To gallons (US): multiply by 264,172.

Common Mistakes
Confusing ML (megaliter) with mL (milliliter) — they differ by a factor of 10⁹. Capitalization matters!
Educational Tips
ML vs. mL: uppercase M = mega (million), lowercase m = milli (thousandth). Always check the case carefully.
