Garrison Dam releases more than 103,000 cubic feet per second June 3, 2011

Video taken on the morning of June 3, 2011. At midnight on June 2, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was releasing from the Garrison Dam and spillway 103,000 cfs (cubic feet per second), with that level steadily rising. The Corps' goal is to eventually release 150,000 cfs.

What a big dam with smooth flowing water. Beautiful video.

[@picobyte]

Looks like a whole lot more. that converted to normal metric units would be 2916.6 m3/s maybe because it's so nicely spread out :)

[@steverivinius5686]

That's the overflow spillway.never gets used.well almost never.good fishing

7 years later and it is still true

[@187ApexPredator]

Damns are so amazing.

[@jesser5127]

Why is it their "goal to eventually release 150,000cfs"? Just open the freaking gates and it will release...but it looks like they have some closed still. They act like it's some huge feat....

[@parkerdunsmxxr]

I was there when that happened,it was during the flood

[@OutdoorFreedomDk]

Good ? Or no good ? Nature or electric ? Happy life vs happy nature ?

[@jacobwlodarczyk7208]

I went to the dam to get some dam water. But the dam man said I could have any of his dam water so I told the dam man to keep his dam water 💦

[@borisnonceson]

[@123TauruZ321]

Was just about to write that ^^ Or just laying on your back on a air mattress of some kind that is hooked to the bottom or something ^^ That would be very relaxing.

Killer ride!

Why don't they use pipes to transport water to California? Just use the old oil pipes.

[@neil2385]

because they don't listen to idiots like you

[@playhooky]

I have often thought that I wish there was some way that could be done to transport water to drought areas!

[@123TauruZ321]

They can build pipes to transport oil around the globe, but not water. The power of money, baby. Disgusting.

[@raoulcruz4404]

If you'll pay $2.65 a gallon for the water, I"m sure they'll pipe it anywhere.
