I would imagine they're just worried about the land sliding into the water and making a wicked rear end wave.

Yeah, from the geological reports that someone pulled upthread, there is bedrock about 30 feet below the soil level, but 30 feet X Lake is still a huge volume of water if that dirt erodes away

Well, they wanted rain, they got rain, maybe next time don't use a monkey's paw.

We would prefer rain a bit more spread out next time


Also, colder storms so more of it sticks as snow


Also, adding the fun is the next big wave of storms that is hitting early this week

Fields downstream are already flooded and cars are backed up right next to the floodplains. This could be really loving bad...

Yeah, they were already dumping as much water as they could before it overtopped the emergency spillway

We would probably be having this same issues even if the main spillway never had issues

when you're having some kind of emergency and you may need to put aircraft in the area for reasons you dont want every yokel in thirty miles coming by to use the sweet new camera drone they got for christmas

Yeah, that law got passed becuase assholes kept flying drones near forest fires and after one sucked a drone into its engine, they've been forced to ground planes anytime drones are sighted in the area

I mean Jerry Brown has been working for several years to get a major reworking of the dam and levee system, but he has had to fight farming interests tooth and nail because it means that they wont be able to waste as much water on crops not suited for the region

The reservoir holds what it holds, and the rest is supposed to be let out of the spillway so the dam doesn't overflow. This is a case of the water coming in too fast because of the heavy rains, and the spillway being damaged because of lack of maintenance and use over the last several years. If anything the problem is that they can't let the water out fast enough.

Its very much not a case of over use in recent years considering the historic drought CA has been in
