Complete ignorance on the location, but will snow melt affect that water shed? Big time.

A guy could get a lot of ducks in that hole. Given the absolutely SUPERB levels of material strengths and properties of materials available during construction, THAT is one PISS POOR piece of work there, my friend. The SOB did not "fail from lack of infrastructure maintenance" as proposed by one little cheap shot sniper hiding in the weeds. Well engineered and executed structural concrete's supposed to get STRONGER for it's first century,....and epoxy coated, high tensile re-bar was an accomplished FACT of that day. That structure was a POS the day they cut the ribbon and headed back for the whorehouse. GTC Well said, that's exactly what I was thinking today while I was at work....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Looking at the weather it looks like they have about 7 days of rain coming starting on Thursday.
What a mess.

FAKE NEWS WARNING https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/02/09/ororville-dam-spillway-collapse-may-be-due-to-missing-rebar/..... If REBAR was present, we likely would not see such a dramatic collapse as it would have prevented water pressure cavitation from eroding more and more concrete. Concrete is a material that is very strong in compression, but relatively weak in tension. To compensate for this imbalance in concrete’s behavior, rebar is cast into it to carry the tensile loads. This means concrete pulls apart much easier than it is crushable, but with REBAR the tensile force required to pull the concrete apart is greatly increased. One wonders if that lack of REBAR on the spillway was by design, accident, negligence, or some cost-cutting measure like the lack of life-boats and cheap steel on the Titanic. REBAR in concrete was invented in 1849. It seems incredible to me that it seems to be missing from this very important structure. Somebody should tell this guy.......rust never sleeps.

We are screwed for the foreseeable future. Snow pack, warm rain, spring melt off....... its going to be interesting.

Farmers always say that you should never complain about rain.
I read that 188,000+ people have evacuated, that is an amazing amount of folks.

Wow... Didn't know there were so many structural engineers and groundwater hydrologists here... I'm leaning a LOT!  A lotta dam experts.

Please...how 'bout y'all who are spouting sh1t out your AZZES provide some data whereby we engineers and scientists can crunch the numbers and contribute our opinions...which are surely less valid than ignorant stupid f'ing hysteria... amazing...

What do you want to know about groundwater hydrology?

What do you want to know about groundwater hydrology? Not much, since I minored in hydrology because of a similar event to this that happened when I was in high school and decimated part of MY world...: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teton_Dam

[bleep] it...never mind all of the above. This was the best site for hunters on the web a decade ago...now it is a forum for the cool kids...

Sad... Travis/Deflave/Clark is not a cool kid. He is a high functioning alcoholic who has a soiled pillow. There is a difference
