What does MGD mean, and what is it in SI units? Million gallons per day? US gal or Imperial ones? (I'm not being facetious -- I genuinely don't know and it's my understanding that the US mix parts of the old British Imperial system, e.g. BTU, together with their own)

- jcranmer 5y agoYes, MGD means million gallons / day, and this is US gallons not Imperial (you should have been able to guess that from my reference to Virginia's standards--Virginia being a US state).
