I still don't understand.
I drew a picture on where I'm confused...

Also, things I found out while looking at pictures of the spillway....

  1. The 1983 picture is deceiving. That is NOT the lake's normal water level. The lake was up high due to flooding. This is the only time in the dam's entire history where water naturally spilled over into the spillway.
  2. The water only went over the spillway twice. Once in 1983 (pictured) and when they tested it when the dam was first built.
