50 feet is a pretty long. As a cube that would be close to 5 stories tall.

I think the point you are trying to make is water volumes get big fast and the point I was making to GP was if you are gonna be messing around with large volumes of water please get some permits so you don't flood your neighbors.

Yeah, the most surprising thing was it is only 25,000 bathtubs - once could conceive of easily adding storage area to land that was 25,000 depressions, assuming the land was a few sq miles.

Or one largish pond.
