Convert Litres per Second to MLD (L/s to MLD)
1 litre per second (L/s) = 0.0864 million litres per day (MLD). 1 MLD = 11.57407407 L/s. Example: 15 L/s = 15 × 0.0864 = 1.296 MLD.

How to Convert Litre per Second to MLD
- 1 L/s = 0.0864 MLD
- 1 MLD = 11.57407407 L/s
- Example: convert 15 L/s to MLD: 15 L/s = 15 × 0.0864 MLD = 1.296 MLD
Formula
MLD = L/s × 0.0864
or MLD = L/s ÷ 11.57407407407
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 L/s = 10⁻³ m³/s.
- 1 MLD = 10⁶ L/day = 1000 m³/day = 1000/86,400 m³/s.
- 1 L/s = 0.001 m³/s ÷ 0.01157407407407 m³/s per MLD = 0.0864 MLD
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Litre per Second definition: litre per second; MLD definition: million litres per day.
Worked examples
- A reading of 5 L/s converts to 0.432 MLD.
5 L/s × 0.0864 = 0.432 MLD - A value of 50 L/s is 4.32 MLD.
50 L/s × 0.0864 = 4.32 MLD

Where it's used
Litres per Second are used for tube-well and pump discharge, while million litres per day appear in water treatment and sewage plant capacity. Both measure volumetric discharge of rivers, canals and water supply, so the conversion is a fixed factor.

Frequently asked questions
How many million litres per day are in 1 litre per second?
1 L/s = 0.0864 MLD.
How do I convert litres per second to million litres per day?
Multiply the value in L/s by 0.0864, or divide it by 11.57407407. For example, 15 L/s × 0.0864 = 1.296 MLD.
Is the L/s to MLD conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, so the ratio is exact; its decimal form does not terminate and is shown here to 10 significant figures (more with the precision selector).
