Another week on #Dartmoor and another #dam and #spillway. This one is from #Venford #reservoir and is quite an unusual dam constructed of #masonry. It was opened in the first decade of the twentieth century. A couple of decades ago, work was done to ensure the spillway could handle flood events of increasing magnitude as a result of #GlobalWarming. As you can see there was some flow today over it.
Checked out Whiskeytown Dam this morning after the storm blew through-

The footbridge is usually redundant and you can just walk across the channel but not today. The #swans seem to like it, though.
