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 (gill [UK]) The gill [UK] is a traditional unit of volume for liquids, especially wine and other alcoholic beverages. The gill is 1/4 pint. In the British Imperial system, the gill equals 5 fluid ounces, 8.670 cubic inches, or about 137.7 milliliters. The unit is pronounced "jill", with a soft "g" sound. Its name comes a Latin word gillo for a small wine vessel.
