About Converting Liter per Seconds to Megaliter per Weeks
Liter per Seconds and Megaliter per Weeks both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Liter per Seconds is most often used for municipal water supply and treatment plant flow rates.
Formula
megaliter per weeks = liter per seconds × 0.6048
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 liter per seconds equals 0.001 base units, and 1 megaliter per weeks equals 0.00165343915344 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct liter per seconds-to-megaliter per weeks factor of 0.6048.
Simple example
1 L/s × 0.6048 = 0.6048 ML/wk
1 liter per seconds = 0.6048 megaliter per weeks.
Real-world example
60 L/s × 0.6048 = 36.288 ML/wk
60 liter per seconds = 36.288 megaliter per weeks.

Understanding the Liter per Seconds
Liter per Seconds (L/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every second — used for larger flows than liter-per-minute conveniently describes. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
Where it's used: Common in municipal water-utility and industrial flow specifications internationally
L/s vs. L/min. Both measure the same quantity at different time scales; 1 L/s equals 60 L/min. L/s is typically used for larger, continuous industrial or utility flows, while L/min suits smaller household-scale flows.
Uses of the Liter per Seconds today
- Municipal water supply and treatment plant flow rates

Frequently asked questions
How many megaliter per weeks are in 1 liter per seconds?
1 liter per seconds equals 0.6048 megaliter per weeks, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert liter per seconds to megaliter per weeks?
Multiply the liter per seconds value by 0.6048. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert megaliter per weeks back to liter per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 megaliter per weeks equals 1.653439153 liter per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a liter per seconds?
Liter per Seconds (L/s) measures volumetric flow rate. One liter of volume passing a point every second — used for larger flows than liter-per-minute conveniently describes. It is classified as a metric derived flow-rate unit.
What is a megaliter per weeks?
Megaliter per Weeks (ML/wk) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the liter per seconds to megaliter per weeks conversion exact?
Yes. Both liter per seconds and megaliter per weeks are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.6048 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What is the difference between l/s vs. l/min?
