    about a cubic meter per minute

    When you calculate the volume, it’s usually per m2. I quoted the wrong part.
    So when you compare to a firehose, you must compare the volumes.
    Tightly packed firehoses wouldn’t make any sense, because that’s not how firehoses work.
    At least that was my interpretation.

      a cubic meter per minute is what the firehose outputs, so thats over approximately a dm^2 not an m^2

      which comes out to a 500m high column
