A gigaliter (GL) is a unit of volume equal to one billion liters (10^9 liters).
History/Origin
The gigaliter is part of the metric system, introduced as a standard unit for large-scale volume measurements, especially in environmental and industrial contexts, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Gigaliters are used to measure large quantities of liquids, such as water resources, in environmental studies, water management, and large-scale industrial processes.
