Will the topography allow re-construction of a pond that will it fill under low-flow conditions then allow higher flows to by pass using natural topography?<br /><br />AlAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196662876966015559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-87417968204458703212011-09-18T16:44:38.653-05:002011-09-18T16:44:38.653-05:00I guess the Spirit left that lake.

Every visitor needs to bring a rock...the larger the better to shore up the first dam and to make a smaller dam down-stream from the future spillway to collect water for the wildlife.

Of course this is easy for me to say and not so easy for you to do, but I wish you could take Al's suggestion about a spillway so you could still have a larger pond or small lake. Benita would like that, I think.Larry Praterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02987752802181820849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-61093950479303958982011-09-17T21:35:44.636-05:002011-09-17T21:35:44.636-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Don Audererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800786912903616230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-17183865066492646072011-09-17T21:32:41.619-05:002011-09-17T21:32:41.619-05:00Sorry to hear about the dam dam..

Yeah, water from heavy rains in the desert wreaks havoc. We nearly lost all of our mile long road in NM in a recent rain event - the "River Ran Through It". I hope you find it feasible to give it a good repair, with improvements (as it is with everything else you write about).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599595871769848823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-87778688915047741462011-09-17T19:25:36.062-05:002011-09-17T19:25:36.062-05:00BUMMER!

When it rains some times it pours. You need a low area for water to spill over the dam with erosion protection so it doesn't destroy the dam when overtopped. Perhaps covered with non woven filter cloth and covered with rip rap to direct the water away from the toe of the dam. Alternatively if the dam was high enough and depending on topography you could direct excess water over existing natural rock. Sorry.<br /><br />Best of luck.<br /><br />AlAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196662876966015559noreply@blogger.com
