Here in the East Riding of Yorkshire the grass was dying on the park outside where i live in February its been that dry, the rain usually comes from the west so the west of the country gets all the rain first but here in East Yorkshire because of the Pennines the water gets dumped loads up there first and it can lead to lots less water falling for us.

I remember sliding down that spillway when I was a student at Cal Poly nearby. There was a small lake at the bottom. And as a somewhat skinny kid I could lean back and with my legs lifted somewhat, skip somewhat as I hit the bottom. It was treacherous climbing up the slippery surface and there was not a lot of water coming over (circa 1974), Partly dry. I saw one guy slip and hit his head on the concrete, crazy jock type. He fell away endangering others below on the south east end of the spillway climbing up. Used to try to grab the chainlink fence or cracks or an old rope. There were several dozen college age kids there on a sunny weekend day. Strictly unsupervised, under the radar.

@eekus1494
Жыл бұрын
Lopez Lake provides drinking water for Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Pismo Beach, Oceano and Avila Beach.[2] It also provides groundwater recharge, water for irrigation and flood control. Unlike most municipal water supplies, human contact with the water is permitted. Sailing, wind surfing, water skiing, swimming, fishing and camping are popular activities. There is also a waterslide next to the lake. To prevent contamination of the drinking water, water from the lake is piped 3 mi (4.8 km) to a terminal reservoir, where it remains to allow particles to settle out and pathogens to die off. The water then goes through flocculation, filtration and chlorination at the Lopez Water Treatment Plant.
