The Arroyo in Storm January 4, 2004 - There's been a lot of water over the dam in the last week in the last week. This Arroyo really comes to life when a storm like the one now pouring down on us hits. Here are some pictures of the results. |

 The
water flows ferociously through the spillway at Devil's Gate Dam on
December 29, 2004.
This is only the second time that this has occurred since the dam was
rehabilitated in 1997. It's an exciting sight to see,
demonstrating the force of nature and of the storms that periodically
roar through the Arroyo. Water only flows through the spillway
when it reaches elevation 1040, fully fifty feet above the bottom of the
dam.
In the picture below, check out the water in the reservoir area stretching back towards Jet Propulsion Laboratory. |
