Yes, large amount: 20-35 liters is a large amount; the quantity retained is the important issue. If heart, liver, kidneys &brain control are intact &in comfortable environment, humans can often survive indefinitely on as little as 0.5 liters/day up to 25 liters/day. The 35 liters you quote is above this, but given diabetes insipidis (↓ed pituitary output of antidiuretic hormone) kidneys will loose water ↑↑ rapidly.
