Ngaba umfanekiso obonisa inqaku ubamba ingqalelo yakho? Iyamangalisa, akunjalo? Ngaba uyazibuza ukuba yinto yendalo okanye eyenziweyo, yintoni na kwaye iphi? Ewe, imalunga ne California umngxuma omnyama, ekwabizwa ngokuba Umgxunya wozuko.
El Umgxunya wozuko yenziwe ngumntu kwaye isedama elisedolophini ENapa, eCalifornia. Makhe sifunde okungakumbi ngaye kwinqaku lethu lanamhlanje.
Idama laseMonticello
Njengoko besesitshilo ngasentla, olu lwakhiwo luyinxalenye yedama okanye idama eliseNapa County, eCalifornia. Idama ingakumbi i Idama laseMonticello que Yakhiwa phakathi kuka-1953 no-1957.
Ulwakhiwo lwaphela lulawula indlela yasePutah Creek kumantla eKhalifoniya, isebe loMlambo iSacramento. Umwonyo odlula kuwo lo msinga uziikhilomitha ezili-137 ubude kwaye ufumana amanzi awo kwiiNtaba zeMayacamas, eziyinxalenye yoMda woNxweme, oqukuqela ngasempuma unqumla amadama amabini, elinye lawo liliDama leMonticelli kanye.
Ukwakhiwa kwedama kwadala i Ichibi laseBerryssa, ichibi elikhulu elenziweyo elibalwa njengechibi lesixhenxe kwezi mpawu, ubungakanani obukhulu, eKhalifoniya. Amanzi asetyenziselwa ikakhulu ezolimo kwiNtlambo yaseSacramento.
Idama lenziwe ngekhonkrithi elineemitha ezingama-93. Umthamo wedama mkhulu kwaye emva kwexesha elithile, ngo-1983, a umzi-mveliso wombane ngeejenereyitha ezintathu ezigunyazisa ubukhulu becala iSan Francisco Bay Area.
Umngxuma wozuko
Ingaba ingantoni? Lo "mngxunya omnyama" eCalifornia awuyonto ngaphandle ukuchitheka kwedama laseMonticello. Yintoni i-spillway? Yi isakhiwo esisebenza ukulawula ukukhutshwa kwamanzi edamini, ngokubanzi ukuya ngasemlanjeni okanye kwidama ngokwalo.
Umngxuma woBuqaqawuli weDama laseMonticello yimitha engama-22 ububanzi kwinqanaba lechibi kunye ne-tapers malunga ne-8 nesiqingatha seemitha kwindawo yokuphuma. Kwinqanaba lechibi indlela yokuchitheka inokukhupha ukuya kutsho kwi-1370 cubic milliliters ngomzuzwana, into eyenzekayo xa umphakamo wamanzi echibi unyuka ukuya kutsho kwi-4.7 yeemitha ngaphezu komphakamo wetonela.
Ixesha lokugqibela oku kwenzeka ngokwendalo 2019. Ngaphambi kwaloo nyaka kwenzeka into efanayo ngo-2017 emva kwezaqhwithi ezininzi, kodwa ngaphambi koko, le nto yayingenzeki kwiminyaka elishumi.
Kunjalo ukuqubha apha akuvumelekanga ngokungqongqo, kodwa sekunjalo awunakubuthabatha lula ubukrelekrele babantu. Ngoko ke ngelishwa umntu omnye wasweleka ngo-1997: Inkosikazi egama linguEmily Schwalek, 41, yasweleka xa yatshayelwa ngoxa yayidada kufutshane neGlory Hole. Wakwazi ukubambelela elungqamekweni kangangemizuzu engama-20 enzima, kodwa ekugqibeleni wakhukuliseka waza warhaxwa.
Kwakhona kuthiwa ngokwenene wazibulala kuba ukuba inqanaba lamanzi beliphakame ngolo hlobo ngengazange akwazi ukubambelela encamini. Enyanisweni, bazama ukuthetha naye baze bamcenge ukuba adade elunxwemeni, kodwa eli bhinqa alizange livume. Emva koko, kubonakala ngathi kunokuba "afunxe" wazivumela ukuba ahambe kwaye, ekugqibeleni, umzimba wafunyanwa kwiiyure ezininzi kamva kwindawo engezantsi yePutha Canyon.
Ke, ukuqubha akucetyiswa kwiindawo ezithile okanye ngeentsuku ezithile, kodwa Ewe, unokwenza imisebenzi yamanzi kwindawo yokugcina amanzi kwiiNtaba zeVaca, eyenziwe ngokwenziwa ngedama elinye. Ngeentsuku ezinelanga kulunge kakhulu ukuqubha, ukuloba, ukutyibiliza emanzini, ukukhwela inqanawa okanye ukukhwela iphenyane.
Kwakhona ubona ezininzi oolwandle ekubeni ichibi linezibuko elikhethekileyo kubo. Ukuba uya kusondela kwidama ngokwalo, kulapho umphakamo wamanzi uphantse usoloko uphantsi, uya kubona iGlory Hole engenanto, oko kukuthi, inqaba yekonkile enyuka ngaphezu komphezulu wechibi. Kungoko, xa inqanaba lamanzi linyuka liba njalo umtyholi swirl esiyazi njengeGlory Hole, into ekhohlisayo kakhulu.
Ngapha koko, iye yathandwa kakhulu kwaye kuba sonke sinokuba ne-drone kusoloko kukho ezininzi ezibhabha phezu kwayo kwaye zithatha iividiyo ezilungileyo ezifakwe kwiYouTube kamva. Kodwa, Ngaba kuphela kwendlela yokuchitheka kohlobo lwayo ehlabathini?
Hayi ke, ayinguye nalo unemilo, intsimbi ukuba uyathanda. Kukho ezinye ezilinganayo, umzekelo, kwi Idama laseHarriman eVermont, eUnited States, kwiDama laseLadybower eDerbushire, eUnited Kingdom, kwiDama laseGibson eMontana okanye kwiDama laseSan Roque eCórdoba, eArgentina.
Olunye ulwazi malunga ne Idama laseMonticello: ukwakhiwa kwayo kwakuyinxalenye yento ebizwa Iprojekthi yeSolano, iprojekthi yenkulungwane yama-XNUMX ukunkcenkceshela ingingqi zeSolano kunye neYolo ukwandisa imisebenzi yezolimo eyathi ukususela ngenkulungwane ye-50 yayinamanzi amancinci kakhulu kwiinyanga zasehlotyeni. Umhlaba wathengwa ngeminyaka yoo-XNUMX kwaza kwathi xa kwaqalwa ukwakhiwa amafama afuduka waza umhlaba ngokwawo wagutyungelwa ngamanzi.
Kambe ke, kanye njengokuba kwabakho amazwi avumayo, kwabakho amazwi anxamnye nalo, kodwa umsebenzi waqhubeka, umhlaba waqhubeka nokugutyungelwa ngamanzi, izakhiwo zidilizwa, amangcwaba afuduswa, yaye ekupheleni kwelo shumi leminyaka yonke into yayisele iphantse yagqitywa. Ngo-1963 ekugqibeleni kwabakho izikhukula zaseMonticello. nangona nanamhlanje ukuba inqanaba lamanzi liphantsi ungabona ezinye izakhiwo, njengedolophu yesiporho.
