Let-'Em rip!!

Nimbus Dam with all 18 gates open.

We've had quite a bit of precipitation this winter, way above the yearly average. That combined with a huge snow pack in the Sierra Nevada range, the engineers at both Folsom Dam, and Nimbus Dam have to walk a thin line, releasing enough water to keep the Sacramento area from flooding, but also not releasing too much, as this is one of the main drinking water sources for the region.
