Hetch Hetchy: Water Release at the Dam – Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 284

Hetch Hetchy water release at the dam

Hetch Hetchy water release at the dam

Yesterday’s post showed a rainbow created in the mist as a result the large amount of water being released by the authorities.

The picture above gives a better idea of the volume of water being discharged. Also notice the flow away from the dam wall into the adjoining river. There was water going far and wide as a result of this managed release.
