Unblocking Lake Drain Makes a Waterfall

Thank you for 3,050 subscribers! I really appreciate the feedback you all send, it's very helpful.
The water is becoming stagnant in the creek downstream, so it's time to release some pent-up lake water to freshen things up. There are wind storms coming soon, so I'm sure the drain will quickly be blocked by more fallen branches. I replaced the main log before I left, so that the lake wouldn't lose more water than necessary.

Just one thing the original concrete has broken on the section you clear so the dam was merely doing what the concrete originally did. So you have lowered the water level unnecessarily rather than remove a blockage. I do like to see water flow too though.

[@afreakinninja]

It's been like that for decades, the current maintained level of the pond is that broken part of the concrete. When they install new drainage they match this level. The drain is probably over a hundred years old, I should make a video about it.

I was thinking if there is debris at the bottom wouldn't you clear that out first before the water flowed into it? no? I agree with you now that i see it. That spill way was not suppose to be that low.

The therapeutic value of just watching the work AND listening to the water WITHOUT COMMENTARY is heavily underrated

Post 10 has inspired many children, including mine, to unclog drains that the city won't. He is a KZbin hero in my books. Kids that follow his lead, like this guy, are being productive instead of sitting around playing Ps4 etc. Good job dude!!👍👍👍

[@The_Cat_Authority]

You mean they are being productive instead of sitting around watching youtube? Yet they found a hero by "wasting" time on youtube... Interesting point of view you have. If only you knew the hours of time that goes into editing videos. Just sitting in front of a screen. LOL

Yes clean the pit area first of what you can then release water . Great job though. Thank you for picking up the trash also .

[@lylesmith1949]

Good job Ninja! Maybe next time, pull as many of the big branches out of the pit, as you can. This is so the the small stuff can just flow on out. Then just start raking towards the pit. Great job separating the trash out! Keep it up! You never know what you might find!

Great job and great camera placement. Thanks for sharing; I enjoy your videos and appreciate your hard work.

[@heapbig5352]

I enjoyed this a lot. The camera work is good and interesting. The work you do picking up trash and getting the lake opening flowing again is a good thing. I find it peaceful to watch and enjoy hearing the water flowing and splashing, it is very calming. Keep up your good work and look forward to more. Hope you had a good Easter weekend.

Excellent! Would like to see the whole section flowing some time after the level drops and it is save to clean up. Great work. Found your video because of Post10.

[@MelsCrybaby_z]

I do this at my school, there’s a waterfall right outside that often gets clogged up by leaves and stones. The water can’t get to the drain, the drain is a bit far away so the water has to travel a little bit, the drain it’s just straight up there like it is in this video. It’s some meters away, it can cause floodings in the buildings if people don’t clean. It’s a big problem during fall.

[@themousefiles]

Great job

I suspect a storm surge caused that blockage, because the last you cleared it up, the channel was wider.

I unblocked my local balancing lake a year ago i took 2 feet of it over night it blocked on purpose to make the pond deeper but it needed to be lowered to clear the reeds an make some new fishing spots now its all cleared an platforms installed im guna block it up again an bring it up a foot more i might time lapse the fill up

So this is why all the people up on Lake Ontario were complaining about low water levels. 😆
