[@Kashmir_explorer786]

Yes but extracting this soil isn't possible because of water still over it in reservoir and with high pressure downstream of radial gate.

One must dig out the eroded concrete and replace it with higher pressure concrete.

[@sujimtangerines]

How often is the spillway opened to facilitate sediment release (how many years worth of buildup was allowed to flow out in this particular video)? I know most of these are measured in feet above mean sea level (I live near Lake Mead), but are actual depth measurements taken? If so, what was the water depth afterwards (how tall had the sediment gotten)? The waterflow suggests a great volume of water was also released...how long does it take the reservior to refill back to the level before this maintenance? (If this process were to happen now, I can't imagine how long it would take Lake Mead to get back to the current level, at less than half pool. But even in drought conditions, dam maintenance must be just as important...so it surely must be performed. I wanna see this in person, I should check the website or call to see if/when there is one scheduled.)

[@Kashmir_explorer786]

Basically it is run by the river Hydropower project. Its storage capacity is 10 millions cubic meters. to check the sediments buildup we go through a hydrographic survey of the reservoir by dividing the reservoir into several cross sections. If sediments build up on the bed reaches 20m then the flushing of the reservoir is carried out in the next high flow season. Total maximum depth of the reservoir is 45m /135 feet's. And it is 1000 meters above the mean sea level

[@sujimtangerines]

@@Kashmir_explorer786I'm so glad I took an interest in reservoirs & dams once I moved to Las Vegas; it takes the fear of drought down a notch & means I actually understood that explanation! Thank you!

[@danlowe8684]

Lake Mead is a totally different situation in that nearly all of the sediment deposits come from the Colorado River inflows which are many miles away from the Hoover Dam. This allows the sediment to settle long before it reaches the structure. But, up until the Glen Canyon Dam was built, about 100,000 acre-feet of deposits occurred every year. Lake Powell now absorbs more than 90% of this and since 1963, only about 7000 ac-ft deposit in Mead. This amounts to roughly 2.5M acre-feet total sedimentation in Mead (estimates have decreased due to compaction of material over time on lakebed). They also reserve about 1.5M ac-ft for emergency flood control due to the scare in 1983-84. There is an 8M ac-ft of storage below inactive level. Mead also loses nearly 1M ac-ft per year to evaporation. So, of the original 30M ac-ft design of Lake Mead, there is only 11M ac-ft usable at full pool. Mead is required to release 9M ac-ft per year by water rights compacts. Mead also receives 8M ac-ft from Lake Powell per year. Also, Mead reached levels similar to today from 1956-58, and the states were not taking their full allotments of water. Arizona didn't start until 1996 when the CAP was completed. The states have also used Mead as a 'bank' in that during wet years, when they do not need their allocations of water, they bank the balance for use in the future. This leads to heavier usage during drought years. And over 50% of the water that naturally drained from the west face of the Rockies is diverted across the continental divide to the east face. One final note, the allocations made in the early 20th century were during an unusually wet period in the region. This became apparent very early on, but allocation levels have remained the same. And scores of dams have been built upstream along the Colorado and its tributaries that contain water that was originally meant to flow down the Colorado. This, and the fact that 4 million people were supported by a river that now supports 44 million people.

[@danlowe8684]

I believe the concrete erosion is due to cavitation and not inferior product. I wondered when I first started watching if this would be a problem with the water being obstructed in different places along the spillway throughout the process. FYI, I'm not an expert but have studied the Glen Canyon Dam problem in 1983 and Oroville in 2017. Both dams were nearly lost due to this phenomenon. I don't know if much could be done to solve it other than to make the necessary repairs to the concrete between sediment releases. Check out YT vid 'Challenge at Glen Canyon, 1983'. It is wonderful.
