When doing a thumbnail estimate like this, I use Density X Design Area X 1.25
to estimate a flow rate.
So 0.10 X 1500 X 1.25 = 187.5 gpm. Rounding up, 190 GPM (since we're just
estimating) X 30 minutes = 5700 gallons.
For a pump I'd pick something around a 150 gpm rate for this.

Since we're working with hypotheticals, let's say you design a system to work
