>>Other Perspective: Brown Water discussion: Just before Main Spillway Blowout <<

In this pre-failure stage of the Main Spillway, brown water signaled the undermining of the concrete slabs in the main spillway. Notice the tremendous side flow of brown water on the outside edge of the containment wall.

The importance of this image is that "brown water" in the main flow could indicate a source in the main spillway that injected a burst of substrate material. However, the more likely case is an injection of material at/near the main spillway blowout.

>>Sizable "Turbulent Crest" at upper main spillway discussion: << This image indicates a symmetrical distribution of the "crest" focus of streams when the flow is balanced.

In contrast to post image 1,320 the "Crest" is sizable, indicating a different condition than the "balanced" flow. Again, this may be from the inlet turbulence.
