Why this comes up

Million gallons is how US news reports spills, reservoir releases and treatment-plant capacity. Most of the rest of the world reports the same water in litres or cubic metres, so the figure has to be converted before it means anything. One million gallons is roughly 1.5 Olympic swimming pools. A US household uses about 300 gallons a day, so a million gallons is about nine years of one household's water.
