Why this measurement?
Why we use 10,000 m³
We compare the volume of a 10 million litre reservoir. This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same.
Defined 10,000,000 litre capacity. Actual containers, servings and fills vary. Outer shape is not used to calculate capacity.
