I can't visualise the quantity. Is it a lot? It's 219 UK gallons, but
that is still a quantity I can't really get my head around. How much
would I use watering the garden? 20 minutes with a spray head on a
hose over approx 75 square meters, that is.

At the risk of sounding smart, I can tell you how much that would weigh.
Sadly, this is a useless thing to know if you do not have a mental benchmark
for the given units, but one of teh joys of the metric system is that the
quantity you specified should weight a metric tonne (allowing for variations
in athmospheric pressure, distance from the centre of the universe, purity
of the water etc.). How heavy is a tonne you might ask? ehhhhh loads.
