History/origin: The kilolitre is based on the litre, which was introduced in France in 1795 as part of the metric system. The prefix 'kilo-' denotes one thousand, indicating its scale relative to the litre.

Current use: Kilolitres are used to measure large volumes of liquids, such as water in reservoirs, industrial storage tanks, and swimming pools. They are also used for bulk transportation of liquids.
