fire hose
Emergency water cannon
A fire hose is a large-diameter hose designed to deliver water at high pressure for fighting fires.
Fire hoses connect to hydrants or pumper trucks and require significant force to control when pressurized.
Figuratively, anything that delivers an overwhelming volume resembles a fire hose: The course was like drinking from a fire hose.
