The world is big. Way bigger than you think, apparently.
3.5 million gallons of water is about 5 Olympic-sized swimming pools. That is quite a lot of water to be in a basement but in the grand scheme of things it isn’t very much water at all. There is no measurable change to the environment from that being in a basement.
