If 50% of people die, are we going to flood due to masses of water being released back into the environment?

No.

They could lower some of the reservoir levels (minimally), and maybe use fewer water towers.

The impact on water wouldn't be significant enough to raise water tables.

I was talking about 4 billion people x water mass.

If everyone somehow magically turned into 100% liquid water where they stand, then there'd be large puddles all over, but there wouldn't be any flooding.

We would evaporate and turn into clouds somewhere lol.
