Any flood proposal is some elevation boundary defined portion of the volume of the surface of a sphere which is, for the most part, smoother than a cue ball, plus the water holding capacity of it's soils and subsurface features, plus the rate of drain through irregular or open elevation boundaries.
I wasn't talking about an actual flood, just the requirements to produce the Noachian flood.
