GENESIS: Chapter 9 NWT

"And the deluge went on for forty days upon the earth, and the waters kept increasing and began carrying the ark and it was floating high above the earth. 18 And the waters became overwhelming and kept increasing greatly upon the earth, but the ark kept going on the surface of the waters. 19 And the waters overwhelmed the earth so greatly that all the tall mountains that were under the whole heavens came to be covered. 20 Up to fifteen cubits the waters overwhelmed them and the mountains became covered."- Genesis 9: 17-20 (New World Translation)

How long did the flood last?

Refering to the bible account of the flood of Noah's day Genesis 7:17 states "the flooding continued for 40 days" - NWT

FURTHER DETAILS
According to bible chronology, the rains started late November 2370 BCE. Rains fell 40 days and nights (just over a month). Rains "overwhelmed" the earth, 150 days (five months); ark runs aground on the mountains of Ararat in April 2369 BCE . Since the bible account refers to the progressive rising of the waters during the 40 days and nights it seems unlikely that the waters "overwhelmed" the earth from the falling of the first drop of rain, so it seems reasonable to conclude that the 150 days probably do not include the 40 days of rain as the water level rose.

Genesis 7:21-24

How long did it take the flood waters to subside to sea level?

The tops of the mountains (probably refering to the Armenian Highlands) became visable (73 days) after the the ark ran aground (Genesis 8:5) Three months (90 days) later— in mid-September the account states that “the surface of the ground had drained dry.” (Genesis 8:13) but it was a further 57 days before the bible account states that "the earth had dried off" Noah and his family then came out of the ark onto dry ground (mid-November, 2369 B.C.E.). That would mean, at least in the area concerned, it took a total of 220 days or just over seven lunar months for the waters to drain.
