Two million litres is a lot of water, but Kherkatta is a six billion litre dam. Pumping out the stilling basin at the base of the dam because you dropped your phone is ridiculous, but the article is abusing your lack of familiarity with the subject to make it sound a lot worse than it is.
No, it's just as ridiculous as it sounds. He didn't drain the water to save a child or something, he drained it for a fucking phone. The phone was worth far less than the water.
