The volumetric form (see below) cubic decametre is convenient for describing large volumes of water such as in rivers and lakes.

For surface the square decametre (dam²) is a common unit, be it by the name are (a). The are is a measurement of area the size of 1 decametre by 1 decametre — the square decametre — 10 metres by 10 metres, equalling 100 square metres (100 m²).

For volumes the cubic decametre (dam³) is also used, 10 m by 10 m by 10 m equalling 1,000 cubic metres (1,000 m³).Further Information
