Glad to see an update from Branco Lirio!
in the flyover video there are 2 wet spots on the spillway..one is in the middle at the new RCC location..DWR said this is form rainwater runoff since there is no drainage system yet in that area...
But why is water seeping out at the top near the gates? The water level is well below the gate level...?
well the wet storm is winding down so far 4 inches fell at the Dam and -66.5 in the higher elevations with snowmelt..more showers today ..then a break and weaker/drier systems later in the week
inflow is now 50,000 and rising... outflow 12,000..lake level 795 feet
DWR has said its projections suggest the main spillway may need to be used sometime next week. They’ve also indicated the rougher surface of the roller-compacted concrete part of the spillway chute could cause turbulence, which could cause damage.
A new surface of structural concrete is scheduled to placed over that part of the spillway this year.http://www.orovillemr.com/article/NB/20180406/NEWS/180409806
