A water treatment plant treats $6000 \: m^3$ of water per day. As a part of the treatment process, discrete particles are required to be settled in a clarifier. A column test indicates that an overflow rate of $1.5 \: m$ per hour would produce the desired removal of ... of $3.0 \:m$. The volume of the required clarifier, (in $m^3$, round off to $1$ decimal place) would be ______
