Oroville Dam Update: Face Of Main Dam Shows Definite Seepage Problems On Mid-South Side

News Alert – 7-28-17 Oroville Dam ‘Green Spot’ Causes Concern About Leak – Lake Oroville Dam – 2017 – YouTube

 

There is now a big green area on the MIDDLE of the Oroville Dam face front.  There are also ‘water drain channels’ below the ‘green area’.  This means water is running down from the middle, not rain water but water when the rest of the dam is not seeing runoff.  ‘Differential settlement’ due to foundation shifting in this earthquake prone state.  This is a real danger, if it gives way suddenly, virtually no one has more than an hour or less to run for their lives. There’s a new head for California water policy, just one week ago and already there is a crisis.

New Oroville Dam EVACUATION Order Is Barely In The News!

 

A must-watch video by a geologist explaining how the California water problems are getting worse due to population and farming.
Yes, the snow melt plus another very wet storm is going to menace the people living below this huge watershed.  I would imagine this would be big, big news.  IT IS NOT.  I am amazed at the deterioration in news ability of our mainstream news.  Fake news is like an infectious disease: it spreads socially and it kills huge populations.

Oroville Dam Still Struggling With Epic Flood Waters, UCLA Professor Alex Hall Says Global Warming Will Make It Wetter, Not Drought

Officials Knew 5 Years Ago, The Oroville Dam Towns Can’t Be Evacuated Fast Enough

This photo illustrates the futility of the ‘dam repairs’ which is ridiculously inadequate.  The scouring of the ground has removed at least three stories worth of dirt holding up the cement spillway wall.  The gravel is about 4 feet thick which is about 25 feet less than the original fill.  And today, epic rain is falling, around 10 inches or more.  Officials knew FIVE YEARS ago that towns near the damaged Oroville dam wouldn’t have time to evacuate if it failed.
