The issue with the lake level is most of the water is already spoken for downstream. They, the Federal govt is only allowed to hold back so much for other uses.
Instead of constantly thinking about raising the height of the Dam. They should take this opportunity to dredge the lake floor. Take all that material and use it to reinforce the Level System in the valley. This creating more water storage capacity for later. Without spending billions of dollars in refitting a Dam that was not design to go higher.
@Dan Gander Lake Shasta is a Federal Bureau of Reclamation project, not a State project. The reservoir doesn't actually have as much sedimentation as these videos suggest. This is localized to the area where the river meets the reservoir, not the main part of the reservoir.
@@highway99 I'm not just talking sediment. Remove the mountains that are in the lake. That are usually under water. That would create a lot more volume.
WOW. What a miracle the fish built this bridge when it was underwater when no one was looking Them sneaky fellas. Do fish drive? I bet they got help from the creatures from area 51. WOW?
Fascinating video!
Thanks for sharing.
LOL!! Exactly, "What lake?" It's a shame they have released so much water. Even with the drought it shouldn't be this low.

And this has all been under water until recently, correct?

Should have drained the silt. Will absorb a great deal of water unfortunately. Same here in Spain.
Is this underwater again?
WTF
Yup
