Folsom Dam floodgates open for first time in 5 years
- ChuckMcM 11y agoThere is some impressive time lapse of the lake filling at over 1' per day. All good. Not the end of the drought of course but welcome.
- simulate 11y agoThe dam is still 30% empty and the floodgates have been opened a few times already. The floodgates are opening because of old regulations that require water to be released when Folsom Lake rises by a specified amount. http://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/water-and-drought/article60419396.html http://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/water-and-drough...
- tempodox 11y ago“the most amount of water” is a really funny grammatical concept. Who writes that stuff?
- DrScump 11y agoThat graphic typo was pretty basic (it's Nimbus Dam, not Numbus, and I know that just as an occasional passerby). EDIT: they caught it later; it's corrected at 1:07
