Really interesting to see what becomes exposed. Only revealed in drought of 2021? Huge amount of acre-feet to replace and how much storage lost to sedimentation?
Sedimentation has raised the bed here about 10 feet or so. Further downstream, it is only a few feet from the original bed. So far, there hasn't been a great loss in storage due to sedimentation, from my findings.
I saw the old image of this bridge and I'm astonished how much sediment has accumulated in 80 years. That bridge is HIGH before it was submerged.

Good video! I was wondering how it then looked
That is crazy! Hope she's filling up some now!
Where is this relative to the I5 bridge?
This is west of I-5 at Lakehead by a few miles.

Drinking water?
This water is mostly used for agriculture in the Sacramento Valley. Some does end up in the California Aqueduct in the Delta.
