To determine the amount of water in kiloliters that forms when 140 cubic meters of ice melts, we need to use the relationship between cubic meters and kiloliters.

Given the conversions:
- \(1 \text{ cubic centimeter (cm}^3\) = \(1 \text{ milliliter (ml)}\)
- \(1 \text{ cubic decimeter (dm}^3\) = \(1 \text{ liter (l)}\)
- \(1 \text{ cubic meter (m}^3\) = \(1 \text{ kiloliter (kl)}\)

We see that \(1 \text{ cubic meter (m}^3\) is equivalent to \(1 \text{ kiloliter (kl)}\).

Now, since the volume of the ice is 140 cubic meters, when this ice melts, the volume of water formed will remain the same in terms of cubic meters. Thus, the volume of water will also be 140 cubic meters.

Since \(1 \text{ cubic meter (m}^3\) = \(1 \text{ kiloliter (kl)}\), 140 cubic meters of water is equal to 140 kiloliters of water.

So, the approximate amount of water obtained from the ice is:

[tex]\[ \boxed{140} \text{ kiloliters (kl)} \][/tex]

Therefore, about 140 kiloliters of water is obtained from the ice.
