Unit Definition (hectare meter)
The hectare meter is a unit of volume used to measure the capacity of reservoirs, equal to the volume of water one meter deep covering one hectare. The unit is used mostly in British Commonwealth countries, especially India, where it provides a metric unit comparable to the traditional English acre foot. Reservoir capacities are often stated in millions of hectare meters (Mha·m or MHM). One hectare meter equals exactly 10 000 cubic meters or about 8.1071 acre feet.

Unit Definition (gallon [UK])
Currently the British use a larger gallon than either of the American gallons. The Imperial Weights and Measures Act of 1824 established a new unit for all volumes, liquid or dry, replacing all the other gallons in previous use in Britain. The imperial gallon, designed to contain exactly 10 pounds of distilled water under precisely defined conditions, holds exactly 4.546 09 liters or approximately 277.4194 cubic inches. The imperial gallon equals 1.20095 U.S. liquid gallons (British wine gallons) or 1.03206 U.S. dry gallons (British corn gallons).
