Beautiful drone footage ! Finally a great video showing how close the water is to the spillway!

Great video! Anything to do with dams, lakes, rivers etc is interesting to me. Such beautiful footage of the water and surrounding hills.

[@TDR007]

Wow

Great video! Nice to see the lake so full. Why is the video black starting around minute 10:11 ?

[@TDR007]

Thank you It was an editing error and the video ended there.

[@bryontharp5790]

With the past winter should be 100

[@NickWainwright6970]

Thanks giving last year, this place as empty. The water was at least 800 yards away from carpark slip way.

They have been working on the dam since 2017. They were suppose to be done In 22. They have been building concrete walls around the dam and the camp. Instead of working on on the leak.

“They, they.” Who?

[@grantmarchant3228]

great vid, thanks. How is the snow melt going? I wonder if it will top the new spillway .

[@TDR007]

Thank you According to the news the peak of the snow melt will be around July 9th.

[@notbobthebuilder3109]

They say it'll spill at the spillway at the end of June. It won't reach the labyrinth this season. Now if we get another snow event like this past year next year everyone in Bakersfield better hold tight.

[@mikeovanes]

IS the main spillway currently in use? What was the noise from the tunnel?

[@TDR007]

The main spillway is not in use as of now.

[@soullivankhamtun1687]

can overflow water from the dam be technically transferred to Salton sea by gravity using aqueduct?

[@nicolobolla1101]

We need it for agriculture not to dump in a salty puddle

[@gsp49]

Where is this?

[@TDR007]

Lake Isabella in Kern County California.

[@womanofthunder993]

I live near here we are never t legally allowed to fly drones or walk around it. They have put up things they shouldn't have. Cathedral cave below the dam. Close to china lake and area 51.

[@TDR007]

The Airspace above lake Isabella and surrounding area's are MOA . It is legal to fly drones as long as the flight is filed and ceiling elevation is no more than 200ft.

[@mikeovanes]

why so many spillways? the first one looks like it can handle any overflow?

[@TDR007]

There is only one main spillway. The concrete accordion section is sealed .

[@mikeovanes]

@@TDR007 I don’t believe you can have that many Cfs entering the lake to equal that spillway

[@pigletpiglet3632]

Obvious your not familiar with area

[@ericfielding2540]

@@TDR007The concrete accordion section is the second spillway in case the main spillway is not enough.
