I was surprised to see this one and only comment after nearly 6 years since posting the video. A revolutionary hydropower turbine fabricated by students at New Mexico State University (seen towards the end of the video) was set up for testing at the Elephant Butte Irrigation District Drop 8 Station. Storm waters from the previous night were predicted to arrive at the station early in the morning. As we prepared for the test in anticipation of floodwaters, my students and I worried about any unexpected debris that might come floating down the canal. It would not be uncommon to find remains of wild animals floating down an irrigation canal. We had taken sufficient measures to prevent tumbleweed, logs of wood, and other floating debris from entering the turbine cavity and clogging the turbine. We were deeply concerned about any potential damage to the generator enclosed inside a submarine by the trash. In short, all of the above happened. At first, this message did not appear to mean anything much other than someone somewhere sending a message of love -- a piece of information that could be interpreted in a thousand different ways. But, there is a message in every piece of information. It is up to the receiver of that information to decode, think, and understand the content while realizing the context and circumstances of sharing such a message. In these desperate times of the pandemic, it helps one to share their attitude towards science in a billion ways and arouse global awareness of the things we see and understand about Nature and all the processes that govern the existence of humanity.
Very good video. Thank you for sharing. Unfortunately I only saw it today. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you
It appears they may be priming the canal for operations
It was a storm surge soon after the irrigation season
nice love from haryana
