That is simply the height of mt Everest above sea level. That would be a per day average of about 8,700 inches of rain. This would probably require that you empty your rain gauge every day! If you want to make 1/2 of the water come from the fountains of the deep you of course would only need 4,350 inches of rain a day. If you want to know the volume of that water just calculate the volume of the earth (r=3958.5) - the volume of the sphere equal to the height of mt Everest (r=3964.0) Edit: I do not know why religious people try to use science to 'prove' religious stories. It does not work - period. This is religion we are talking about (ferchrisake!) use God to make it work, like this. God made the excess water appear in the form of rain and stuff and then he made all the excess water disappear after the flood. Problem solved.... We believe he does things decently and in order.

Even if the required quantity of water were hidden in the Earth (it isn't) then it would still require non-physical (magical/miraculous) processes to make it flood the Earth. A tiny amount of water can shift a mass of matter, moving a mass of water; hydraulic motions.

See Article History Alternative Title: Pascal’s law Pascal’s principle, also called Pascal’s law, in fluid (gas or liquid) mechanics, statement that, in a fluid at rest in a closed container, a pressure change in one part is transmitted without loss to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the container. The principle was first enunciated by the French scientist Blaise Pascal. Illustration of Pascal's principle at work in a hydraulic press. According to Pascal's principle, the original pressure (P1) exerted on the small piston (A1) will produce an equal pressure (P2) on the large piston (A2). However, because A2 has 10 times the area of A1, it will produce a force (F2) that is 10 times greater than the original force (F1). Through Pascal's principle, a relatively small force exerted on a hydraulic press can be magnified to the point where it will lift a car. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Pascal's principle https://www.britannica.com/science/Pascals-principle Pressure is equal to the force divided by the area on which it acts. According to Pascal’s principle, in a hydraulic system a pressure exerted on a piston produces an equal increase in pressure on another piston in the system. If the second piston has an area 10 times that of the first, the force on the second piston is 10 times greater, though the pressure is the same as that on the first piston. This effect is exemplified by the hydraulic press, based on Pascal’s principle, which is used in such applications as hydraulic brakes. The principle would apply through every pore and cavity underground. Edited December 20, 2020 by Bartholomew Jones Redundant block
swansont Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 ! Moderator Note Partway there. (this is the simple part; anyone adept at first-year physics know’s Pascal’s principle) The hard part is explaining how that would cause a flood. (hint: where does the water come from to displace the underground water?)

(hint: where does the water come from to displace the underground water?) That's not what I was answering. The question concerned an incidental deficiency in the sum total, that discrepancy being questioned as coming from underground. So, there might have been vast chasms of water, and stone shafts underground. Changes taking place all around certainly would produce masses more of upheavals; waters bursting forth from underground. The water tables rising could provide downward pressures through said shafts.

Moderator Note Your first comment was religious, which is decidedly off-topic. Your second comment was indeed about moving matter (including water), but went into zero detail about how it addressed the objection, which has been a disappointing pattern with your posts. And then you claimed you were answering a different question. You call it picking a fight. I call it trying to obtain a minimum level of science in a science discussion. I don’t know if I can do the latter - it’s up to you - but if you make this a fight I know who will win.
