If the White Fountain is indeed a white hole, intended to undo the 
effect of the "black beans", it need not be on the order of a star in 
gravity well, only on the order of the beans' total. Also, being a white 
hole, it may have an inverted or otherwise unusual distribution of gravity.

As for the flood, a mass as small as the moon can cause considerable 
tides on the earth, so that the White Fountain can be 1% of earth''s 
mass, maybe smaller, depending on how close it comes.

"Additional" water can come from wrecked dams and reservoirs, from the 
wreckage of Abaia's tidal power devices, and such. Even today, enough 
water is kept from the ocean by man-made structures in the northern 
hemisphere to have a measureable effect on the earth's rotation; in a 
few chilliads, who knows how much could be waiting to burst loose?
