Description

When the various water use variables are output they are described being m^3/day:

https://github.com/ukaea/PROCESS/blob/bd4752b9ea46cbf464cda136333fc01d2ccf8259/process/models/water_use.py#L116-L123

However in the data structure the units are listed as m3:
https://github.com/ukaea/PROCESS/blob/bd4752b9ea46cbf464cda136333fc01d2ccf8259/process/data_structure/water_usage_variables.py#L44-L45

The correct units need to be established and the units need to be corrected so they are consistent.
