Fontana Dam Spillway Water Release July 5, 2013

[@homesteadaquarius]

This was neat. I have not seen the dam from this angle and the water release. What strikes me most is knowing that the young voices I hear are now 9 years older and will have this memory forever.
Bless you folks.

[@ChiyaQT]

those 9 year olds would be about 18 now. crazy how time flys

Legend has it this kid is still there asking questions

Fantastic video, one of the best that I’ve seen of a release.
Thank you for posting… a few years later of course! 🌻🇺🇦😂

Thanks for filming this. Loved to see.

[@Diegohall7875]

We camp there just about 200 yards downstream quite often. Beautiful place. I've never seen them spill water like that.

[@sarajanesmith3892]

Went there one year and watch the water be released. It's so cool 😎!

[@davidepperson2376]

Epic indeed. Great job with the video!

[@DonWon4725]

Remember reading article some time ago where one the spill ways had extensive damaged from cavitation which destroyed the spillway, took engineers time to figure some solution to repair the spillway.

Wow that is pretty cool awesome video there's like a wave of water coming out of the tunnel and then it makes like a big splash going into the river

I wonder how many CFM that is?

[@earlelfrink]

1 cubic foot contains approximately 7.431 gallons.

Thanks for posting this . If you like spillway porn check out Digi De Rivaldis. It is a huge dam I believe is in the far north of Italy

[@cpcattin]

100,000 gallons or 100,000 cfs cubic feet per second ?

[@evanturner536]

On this day, TVA was releasing around 100,000 gallons/sec. Thanks for watching!

[@billrandolph5375]
