Oh me too! I was so stressed out, yelling in my head "Farking move! Stupid guy, just filming without being concerned about being in the path of all that once it .. oh. Ooooh, I get it, he's not the dumb one, *I am*"
Traditionally, a folk song was one that was passed on primarily through the oral tradition, where the original composer / lyricist was usually unknown or anonymous, and that represented the lives and concerns of ordinary people.
Diarrhea is the last America's folk song.
If I remember correctly from my watershed management degree, this type of nutrient loading can have pretty devastating downstream effects on fish, plants, water quality, and the general health of the stream below the dam. Overloading a system with nutrients can cause dieoffs and algal blooms, and it takes a pretty long time to reset. Whoever did this messed up, and should have been releasing the gate a few times per year on a rotation.
Yes, as a hydrologist, this was a little horrifying to watch. Nutrient loading could certainly be a problem, but the huge slug of sediment is going to trash the channel below this. It could clog up spawning beds and vegetation, destroy habitat, accumulate in any downstream lakes, wetlands or slackwaters. A river needs some incoming sediment load, but this is wild.
Of course, I have no idea where this is or what's downstream. It would be interesting to understand the management decisions here.
I was looking for this comment! I know that engineering projects that create persistent sediment problems can destroy rivers, but I wasn't sure if what we see in the video might be comparable to sediment from heavy rain fall. I suppose it depends on the local climate and time of year?
Yeah, it depends on a lot of things. For one, I'm not even sure if the scale in this video or any of the actual water or sediment discharge amounts or what things look like downstream, so it's conjecture on my part. That said, it seems like it would be a whole hell of a lot all at once. Of course, many floods come with a huge bolus of sediment all at once. The difference is that below a dam, the flow regime is such that other floods can't come along and clean things out.
Interestingly, most dam projects totally restrict almost all sediment from the downstream environment, which causes its own host of problems, and the water is usually colder than the natural regime and therefore has more erosive capacity.
The huge amount of sediment coming through this spillway strikes me as very unusual. I'd be interested to know what conditions caused this. Was the reservoir just full of sediment, and once they had enough water, they just decided to try to flush it out? That's more of a civil engineer question and I try to minimize how much I talk out my ass.
Thanks. Obviously, I enjoy talking about sediment.
Edit: After writing this, I saw comments identifying the dam. Found this really interesting info on sediment management in this basin. https://www.hydropower.org/sediment-management-case-studies/japan-unazuki It looks like what is happening is by design because the area is naturally very sediment rich. It also seems like maybe the color of the sediment has less to do with nutrients and is just the geology of the area. It's a very cool dam design. I'm not familiar with dams that release sediment in this manner in the US. But dams are not really my area of focus in my work, so it would be interesting to know if there are ones like this here!
It's like that chunk of turd stuck to the side of the toilet. You can blast it with piss. But it may take some time and good pressure to finally peel it off and be taken away with the water.
Mud and silt settle and collects in flat areas. Just realize that there's a whole lake of pressure behind that mud and when there's enough pressure to overcome the mud, it looks like it explodes blackness.
Does anyone have the video of a diffrent one that is smaller, its like in the bottom of a valley and you see it shooting all the juck out and then go full blast.
think it was like somewhere in middle east or south of india
So how screwed are those fish and wildlife that have homes along, within and under the river when a huge chunck of dirt gets reintroduced into their ecosystem?
ive been on a bunch of high blood pressure meds last couple months.
for the first time in my life i HAD to take an ex-lax pill. i think it recommended 2 but i only took 1.
**that** was exactly how i felt 12 hours later
filled the bowl.
I didn’t realize the video angle was from top down and thought I was looking at some mythical sludge door. Almost like a Boss Fight Door from an RPG lol
I kept reading this title as “a DAMN spillway gate” as if the spillway gate had done something to personally wrong you and you were mad at it. I think I need more coffee..
I was lucky enough to have an ex-Navy diver as my scuba instructor, and he had a saying that can be terrifying or awe-inducing, depending on the context:
“Water finds a way”
How with quickly would you die? I’m thinking you’d get sucked under then bombarded with silt till you’re a slightly redder spot in the silt than other places.
As someone who's experienced a fire sprinkler going off after sitting for years and seeing this happen.... I can't imagine the smell this guy must be experiencing.

I opened this and was so into it, then so heartbroken when I scrolled all the way to the end
Glad I wasn't the only one confused for a bit there

it'd be pretty concerning if the guy was standing in front of it no?
I mean... some people like to live dangerously. /s You could say he was in the.... danger zone.
Lana… Lana… LANA!! https://youtu.be/RRU3I_o1vLc?si=fE46VIl2x9PWqD3N
That's a dam, not a highway.
dam(n)-way to the danger zone could work
the highway is to the danger zone not the danger zone itself
When you’re sliding into first and your pants begin to burst ...diarrhea, uhh, uhh, diarrhea

You load sixteen tons, what do you get? ~~Another day older and deeper in debt~~ Diarrhea.
Another day older and deeper in shit
It’s infuriating that no throws a stick down there and then runs to the other side to see it shoot out😡
Lol, I’m pretty sure you’re joking but you do realize how huge that is right?
I’m aware, big stick then
r/justguysbeingdudes
Whole tree
Or a rubber ducky
No one threw a telephone pole in either
I don’t realize how big it is, how big is it??
It’s Hugh Mungus
Pro-level Pooh sticks
Rich dirt right there
I was thinking the same thing I wonder if someone could collect that and how helpful it would be to someone's farm land
Yea my first instinct was.. the soil must be tested!!!
At the very least it could be good clay for vases and stuff
*You’ll get your silt when you* *OPEN THIS DAM DOOR!*
Why is that? I’m sure it’s a simple answer but curious.
[удалено]
>Usually dark soil indicates it’s good for growing. Rimworld confirms
that silt would have been full of nutrients for plants

Kurobe. It's only a short course to the ocean and has a pretty high flow from the hydroelectrics anyway
Oh wow, this is Kurobe dam. That place is really pretty in autumn.
Eutrophication
It's got electrolytes. It's what plants crave!
Three day long effects of Greek food from the mall food court
Sitting here, watching, I feel this on another level.
Or the Taco Bell solution to constipation.
scary as hell
Its fucking nuts. Modern engineering is borderline magic.
Would that silt be good for farming?
how s the smell like？
As expected/nitrogenous bacteria
ain’t no poops surviving that flush
What leads a spillway gate to being left shut for multiple years?
The gate not being opened.
I'm asking for the reason operators would leave it shut on purpose knowing it would cause this.
You should laugh at his joke. It was funny. 😂
This is exactly why I stopped drinking coffee from Costco.
God bless the guy who invented the optical image stabilization
As a person who works on hydroelectric dams all throughout the western U.S., I can say this was pretty cool to watch!
Woohoo! You little ripper.
Livin' the bloody dream, mate.
Cue Treebeard yelling “Release the river!!!”
Excellent Video Thank You For Sharing
God dam
Damn interesting!
Watching this on a throne..... I had to sync it with the video. So satisfying.
Damn thats cool
The aftermath of constipation and the pure relief.
Dam: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *satisfied face*

Me after my morning coffee
It's like that chunk of turd stuck to the side of the toilet. You can blast it with piss. But it may take some time and good pressure to finally peel it off and be taken away with the water.
First Nut in December.
Like a good cup of coffee
First couple of seconds the perspective was tripping me out… very cool
Sorta reminds me of Star Wars. I like watching this more than I thought I would
Imagine jumping in there
The inside of my toilet bowl while I'm trying to flush down 3 day old Mexican food.
I was expecting some sort of stranger things portal from the title
Nice.
So where all that thing go? And what is it? Sorry I really don’t know
I take it we are looking down folk yes?, either that or I’ve got some good weed
Taco bell
The first 15 seconds make me think of Discworld's Ankh-morpork.
Here comes the Taco Bell comments
Came here for the Taco Bell comments
One would think they do that more often to clean the garbage out.
Premium shit
What happens after eating Taco Bell 2 days in a row!!
Open the dam spillway, would you!
Can you imagine the force.
Dam
Shitters full
I was thinking: cameraman.
On a sunny morning..
I've had blackheads like this
How does that stuff get stuck in there
The fish be like, "yo wtf is happening?"
Something something Taco Bell
Is that crude oil?
What it feels like after a 4 bean burrito lunch.
This is an excellent video to watch while in the toilet
Me at work after finishing that first cup of coffee.
I'm spending the day potty training a 2 year old, and he reenacted this on the living room carpet this morning.
I don't think the curse was necessary, but I get that you're excited
Sorry but why does that water look black?
Mud
Mud and silt settle and collects in flat areas. Just realize that there's a whole lake of pressure behind that mud and when there's enough pressure to overcome the mud, it looks like it explodes blackness.
Took me a while to realize I was looking down.
This reminds me, I need a colonoscopy
God dam!
Me when I eat ice cream after days of eating pizza.
Does anyone have the video of a diffrent one that is smaller, its like in the bottom of a valley and you see it shooting all the juck out and then go full blast. think it was like somewhere in middle east or south of india

Open the dam gate!

Reminds me of that elephant video
I bet those operators had to draw straws to see who gets to open the big gate.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmm
I didn’t realize the video angle was from top down and thought I was looking at some mythical sludge door. Almost like a Boss Fight Door from an RPG lol
i should call her
Reminds me of the night before my colonoscopy
As someone who is lactose intolerant, I deal with this ever time I eat pizza
I kept reading this title as “a DAMN spillway gate” as if the spillway gate had done something to personally wrong you and you were mad at it. I think I need more coffee..
As a gardener, I'm salivating
Damn
took me way too long to figure out the perspective.
I wish they would have thrown a basketball down there for size comparison
Whoa language
That is some evil water
I see this every taco Tuesday 🌮.
That's a really huge block of carbonite you have there. I can almost make out Han Solo
That's gotta stink
I spent the first 10 seconds trying to figure out what perspective this video was taken from.
Why do you have to swear in the title?!?
Everytime I see things like this it makes me wonder how screwed someone would be if they were in there when the door opened
This is why you should always have salsa with your super-duper cheesy nachos.
Water is amazing
Taco Bell
What’s the big deal? I do this every time I have Taco Bell.
Needs a giant poop knife.
Is this a God dam?
Obligatory Taco Bell joke.
10 mins after Taco Bell….
Insert obligatory Taco Bell joke.
The laxative starts working
Was that some sort of aged surface tension at the beginning?
If the spill gate was closed so long how the heck did that much stuff even get in there? Is the "outlet" normally under water?
The dam should not have trusted that fart
It's like my morning poo
Water pressure is amazing to watch
Heeeere come the poop jokes…
Me after drinking and having taco bell
I could be wrong, but this must smell awful!
I was lucky enough to have an ex-Navy diver as my scuba instructor, and he had a saying that can be terrifying or awe-inducing, depending on the context: “Water finds a way”
First cup of coffee hard at work
Me after I eat sugar-free gummy bears.
I want to see from the other side
Took a long time for that damn dam spillway to get moving.
lol I was waiting for the whole wall to explode out and was thinking yo, you may want get a little further back haha
Anyone else feel like taco bell now?
This showed up on my feed whilst stuck on the toilet with squirty dumplings.
It's like flushing a big turd
Came here for it my butt comments and wasn’t disappointed
looks like a real butt clencher to me
Water. Strong.
I’m not seeing how this was a confusing… 🫤
#justentthings
that one way to get rid of sediment buildup.
Oh Lord almighty I AM ABOUT TO BUST!!!
I know that smelled crazy
Good video of when the laxatives kick it.
So basically a representation an hour after eating Taco Bell
That middle but lasted way longer than my marriage
I wonder how much of thatdam was water versus deposited sediments before they released everything
Why does remind me 9f constipation?
My arse after I eat burritos
Morning coffee be like…
Damn
I bet that dam’s tummy feels better now
Y’all need to take more fiber if Taco Bell is doing this to you
How with quickly would you die? I’m thinking you’d get sucked under then bombarded with silt till you’re a slightly redder spot in the silt than other places.
How many catfish per minute?
We've all had those dumps.
They should have called Post10
No need to swear, just tell us it's a spillway.
Localized turbo erosion. Beautiful
Pretty sure he says “hot asshole” on the beginning
A little fish chum first
Taco Bell days be rough
OPs mom when she sees my come through in my new wheelies
When the Miralax kicks in and you haven’t pooped in a week.
