Cubic Metre per Day (m³/day)
Cubic metres per day, the same as kilolitres per day (KLD), size sewage and water treatment plants and industrial effluent flows.
Symbol: m³/day (ASCII: m3/day)
Quantity: volumetric discharge of rivers, canals and water supply
SI relation: 1 m³/day = 0.00001157407407407 m³/s (exact)
Derivation: 1 m³/day = 1/86,400 m³/s; one kilolitre per day (KLD).
Exact: yes, by definition
Typical uses
- STP and ETP capacity (KLD)
- Groundwater abstraction permits
- Well yield
