Default Grand Canyon Flooded

Water was released from Glen Canyon Dam at the rate of 300,000 gallons a second to create the equivalent of a flood to replenish lost sediment caused by damming. There's pics in the link below.

thats cool.. they need to do this every 5 years or so... its about time someone gets smart and lets it mimic nature to revive some of the natural events below the dam







Thanks HL and Corsair!
