1 cubic meter = 1000 liters
1 day = 24 hours = 1440 minutes = 86,400 seconds

So now we have to convert all our numbers to the same units.

500 l in one day is the same as 500 l in 86,400 seconds, so:

500/86,400 = 0.0058 l per second

Now we have to convert liters to cubic meters:

0.0058/1000 = 0.0000058 cubic meters per second
