its from the spillway
it started two days ago but got worse today
can’t be from rain since it cut a new channel and obviously its rained there before and that channel wasn’t there
Could runoff from the now hardscaped portion of the emergency spillway... finding a new path of least resistance
I can sort of see that, though the source gets lost in the steam/spray mist. It’s downhill from where the power line towers are, so that’s good. Probably just a new path from the original breach of the spillway. Maybe backing down has caused the water to fall straighter down (less “throw forward” if you will).
I’m kind of projecting here, but if you hold a hose horizontal and turn the water on low, the water will tend to fall almost straight down, but as you open the valve, the water pushes farther out as it drops to the ground. So maybe turning down the quantity of water had the same effect.
