Tail race video of the Flow Thru Tubes at the Garrison Dam taken on May 29th, 2011. Discharge rate at this time was approximately 80,000 cubic feet per second.Generation tunnels and the flow through tunnels can create a discharge of 138,000 CFS. When the discharge rate goes to 150,000 CFS the Corps will utilize the spillway gates. According to Corps projections, flow rates will gradually increase to the 150,000 mark on or about Jun 17. Flow rates above the 138,000 mark will begin Jun 13 when they utilize the gates.
Wow.. I don't know what the Corps could have done to prevent all of this. The fact they opened the spillway gates was incredible. As I am in Omaha, sorry they had to do this. Stay safe and dry
