I actually stood and looked at that exact drain with my girlfriend during college days. It's just up the road from UC Davis. It made the hair go up on the back of my neck. It is quite a horrific sight when you think about it. Then you just walk down the road a hundred feet and look way down in the canyon at that jet coming out. I was amazed and appalled by the one little swimming pool lap lane divider that surround the hole out about fifty feet. I wonder how many ducks and geese have not noticed it in time. The only advantage over the usual bottom of the dam (safer version) is that this thing auto regulates. Water level drops - draining stops.
That road is fun though. There are about 10 creeks that cross it at concrete flats. They were fun to hit at about 45MPH. 3" deep by 10 feet wide. Nice and straight. BOOOOSH! |

Quicktime VR panorama of another BLM dam with a glory hole spillway in the Shasta/Whiskeytown Recreation area in Northern California, my father's stomping grounds.
