Measuring water in kilograms can be done using the concept of density. The density of water is approximately **1 kg per liter** at standard temperature and pressure.

Therefore, to convert the volume of water in liters to kilograms, you can use the following relationship:

Measurement Conversion:
1. **Volume to Weight**:
- 1 liter of water = 1 kg
- Therefore, if you have a certain volume of water (in liters), it can be directly converted to kilograms.

For example, if you have 5 liters of water, it would weigh approximately 5 kg.

Practical Measurement:
In practical applications, you can measure water in a container that has a known volume (in liters) and then convert that volume into kilograms using the conversion mentioned above.

Example:
- If a recipe calls for 10 liters of water, you can say it weighs about *10 kg*.

This method is commonly used in construction and other fields where water needs to be accurately measured for mixing with other materials.
