@armchairengineer What happens when Lake Mead hits dead pool? #dam #damtok #colorado #river #drought #climate #irrigation #lake #mead #mohave #havasu #paloverde #blythe #imperialvalley Dead pool is the point where water can no longer be passed through the dam. When this happens, all irrigators and cities that rely on the lower Colorado River will lose access to their water. And it will all go down in approx 37 days!

@armchairengineer Dworshak Dam, the biggest dam that you"ve probably never heard of. #teamhydro #civil #engineering #clean #energy #climate #greenpower #clearwater #river #pnw #idaho Located on the North Fork of the Clearwater River, Dworshak plays an important role in the region"s clean energy production. It also serves a critical role in balancing water temperatures in the Snake River downstream. Dworshak was the last of the big dam projects on main rivers in the US, with construction wrapping up in 1973.
