Others have mentioned the apparent odds between how long the water will last Vs how much was lost... They missed the part where it was said the water was being recycled. Think about it. The levels won't remain constant, they will rise and fall over time. Perhaps there is agriculture, which will take time to return the water through consumption of crops, or other water capturing processes that take time to return. By losing 60% they've lost over half the buffer which, the story is telling us, means they will last two days.
The outer hull is shielded from nukes, but since Boomer was wet, she's clearly behind this shielding inside the tanks. The structure, the story is telling us, is susceptible to explosives internally.
Regarding The Plan, it pretty much undid the entire series and turned it into Cavils revenge tantrum. Picking the incongruities between this and The Plan is thus pretty pointless.
This isn't your average sci-fi, this is humanity on the edge of it's very survival but still fighting as its flaws, triumphs, failures and strengths are on display. Adama and Roslin are battling to lead without battling each other, for the people. Baltar is battling with himself (six) for himself. Tigh is battling alcoholism. Boomer is battling her inner cylon. The list goes on. It wasn't just thrown together.
Like Bruce Lee pointing at the sky in Enter The Dragon, you don't look at the finger or you miss all that heavenly glory!
