I looked it up, it's around 50 000 liters.
So about 25,000 peoples minimum drinking water per day per bouy. Not too bad there.
Or the overall average water usage of ~13.2 people (went with the first number cause I ain't researching things rn)
About 50 cubic meters. An Olympic-sized swimming pool is ~660,000 gallons, so it would take over 50 of them to produce that much water in a day.
