Kicking the can down the road is how we operate in America today.

the best solution is NOT to build a metropolis in the middle of a desert.

I have personally been inside 2 of the turbine outlet pipes at Carter's damn... They're massive in diameter 14 feet wide. While I was building scaffolding for the engineers to be able to put in new water flow and cavitation sensors in the pipes. They opened one of the 4 outlet pipes. We're 120 feet down in this damn and when they open that flow valve. You can feel the pip you're in vibrating while you hear nothing but the whoosh of water in the other outlet... Pretty scary Because it sounds like the water is coming thru the pipe you're in...

Sounds like a Golden opportunity was missed in 2022 to make Overdue repairs and Necessary Upgrades …..

Restricting the use of water for golf courses would save billions of gallons of water. While residents and businesses are told to reduce usage to a gallons per address golf courses raise the gallons per person into the thousands.

Thanks for this video! Shortsightedness combined with huge projects can result in massive problems, as you describe.

Excellently presented and very informative! Thanks for sharing.

All dams should have a sediment flush system. Hoover is one of them

the flaw was thinking that the dam can last so long, like everything else, there is a lifetime, sometimes shorter than expected.

Your videos are so informative. I have quite a few to catch up on. ❤

Excellent briefing! Subscribed. Jb.

Yikes! Thanks, love your channel.

Nice informative video. They have to solve the water usage for the Colorado River.

Nice presentation

Concrete technology has made huge advances since the construction of the dam.

If backpressure is what prevents the penstocks from cavitation damage. Then those 4 river outlets should have restrictor on the openings to create backpressure. Rather than flowing full blast, have a reduced volume flow and sustained backpressure. The outlets could have variable outlets to fine tune flow. And best of all it would only require construction on the 4 river outlets. I still wonder why Glen canyon has so much trouble now and in 83 when A much older Hoover dam took the spillways flow in stride. I was at Hoover in 83 and it was Breathtakeing. The depth, the trembling roar of the spillways. I had no idea that volume was so temporary.

Fantastic content! Thank you for making this video.

Nice tight report. Good graphics. Subscribed. 👍

Any harmonic like a cavitation can be regulated with nested low-high forms. Just look at any river, like the Colorado, at Topsy Turvy past Cisco. Try experimenting on this and the solution will found. Pairs of high-low forms can elevate or depress fast moving water.
