HOW WE DRAWDOWN THE RESERVOIR AND FLUSHED SEDIMENTS

- Drawing down a reservoir involves reducing the water level to expose the sediments at the bottom. This can be done gradually to minimize ecological impact. Flushing sediments entails releasing water in a controlled manner to carry away accumulated sediments, typically using sluice gates or other mechanisms. This process helps maintain reservoir capacity and water quality.

Its difficult to understand what I am looking at due to the angle. Its still interesting.
he’s atop the dam filming the floor. you can see ladders near the top of the shot
Dams create slow moving or even non moving sections of water in an otherwise flowing river. Slow water drops all of the dirt and other stuff it's carrying. Which builds up behind the dam as mud/silt. This is the opening of a gate at the base of the dam, and the water is shoving all of that built up mud down stream. Cleaning out the area above so that it stays full of water, and not full of mud.
@@ArionEquusthanks for the explanation!🙂
@@martyb3783Beyond what arion told you - these are radial arm spillway gates. They're very common and you should be able to easily find more info about the type.
In the opening shot, the surface at the top of the screen with the ladders is the back side of the gate. The massive steel beams on either side are the arms. They form a pair of V's that connect to and rotate around a massive pin. The pins are in the very bottom left and very bottom right of the video.
The gates are lifted by a pair of beefy hydraulic shafts. You can see them pretty clearly @6:29, though this is from the opposite perspective from the opening shot. In this sequence, the guy filming the opening shot would have been standing on the walkway with the railing.
That is an overhead view of the spillway
The next day after a Taco Bell
Haha, @paulconner9354! That's quite the comparison! I hope the aftermath of the dam opening was more enjoyable than a post-Taco Bell day.
Except much runnier after taco bell, absolutely no solids in the spray out.
Great footage and stills , thanks for posting. 🇦🇺
What they were doing ,and where they were upstrem or downstream
Does anybody know if there could be gold in that sediment?
If gold is in this silt it is not possible to get it I think
@@Kashmir_explorer786Look up "gold panning" the silt from glacial runoff is that fine as well.... That type of silt would be perfect for gold panning.
It would cost more to extract than the gold itself is worth. Not cost-effective.
@@Kashmir_explorer786 Oh it's possible.... Look up "Gold panning"
Cost effective? Not likely.
Is that clean water or is it a sewage pond🤔 I mean natural fertilizer💩? 🤦♂️🤦♀️ ,is it all in that mess😮
love the explanations, thanks
Thanks for your feedback 🙂
This is what happens when you eat too many salsa and sour cream pork rinds.
Сопрапель самые лучшие удобрения что могут быть! На дне водохранилищ просто кладезь естественных удобрений!
How stupid were those people on the sediment afterwards. No common sense
Looks like your parents kept you inside when you were a child.
It's not dangerous if you are not stupid.
Is the sediment pulled out? What's the weirdest thing found around a dam?
