“An inflatable dam in drought-stricken California was damaged on Thursday, causing the loss of nearly 50,000,000 gallons (190m litres) of water.” Inflatable ???
190,000 liters of water??? 190,000 liters of water = 190 m3 of water
The house that I used to live at had a pool of 3X1.5X12 m = 54 m3 of water so the dam you are referring to is about 4X
Not big, really.
Inflatable???
Where was plan B!!!
Anyway, water does not go away, it flows... it went into the San Francisco Bay, lovely place btw.

Ooooops
I did overlook the gallons and did misinterpret the liters because
190m is = 190,000 and 190M is = 190,000,000
So, no my pool was not that big and an inflatable dam is just something kind of impractical and risky anyway.
