We have an extremely dry continent, so we are preoccupied with water, both as rain and as irrigation water. We regularly use kilolitres and megalitres for dam capacities and for river flow rates. Occasionally I hear the terms gigalitre for these same quantities. See an example of megalitres at: <http://www.dwlbc.sa.gov.au/water/technical/surface_water_archive/sites/aw42 6200/w34.htm > Cheers, Pat Naughtin LCAMS Geelong, Australia --
