A landfill is to be designed to serve a population of $200000$ for a period of $25$ years. The solid waste (SW) generation is $2$ kg/person/day. The density of the un-compacted SW is $100 \: kg/m^3$ and a compaction ratio of $4$ is suggested. The ratio of compacted fill (i.e., SW+cover) to compacted SW is $1.5$. The landfill volume (in $million \: m^3$) required is _________.
