, hydroelectricity and domestic water supply for more than 3 million people in terms of discharges. of the dam, we are talking about massive amounts of water released from the flood relief canals, you can see, it is quite a spectacle, it was completed in 1964 after nine years of construction, it was Taiwan's first multi-use hydraulic project and an important step towards the year of economic independence of the island. -The round releases of water from the dam enabled the traditional rice harvest and doubled the annual agricultural production of

region, plus the reservoir became a major tourist destination due to its scenic beauty and abundant fisheries and rightly so,

this

reservoir It was once the largest water conservation project in Southeast Asia.

Not only does it provide water and generate power for northern Taiwan, but it also serves as a wonderful tourist attraction with beautiful natural scenery and special reservoir delights, and you can drive to the top of the release dam and fasten your seat belts because It's sweet time today. issue The era of large-scale dam construction spanned approximately four decades from the 1930s to the 1960s, shortly after the beginning of the 20th century, a combination of large dams, powerful turbines and high-voltage transmission lines allowed Electric companies harnessed enormous energy from running water and to distribute power to more than 100 miles of electrical generators, so huge dams like this one offered renewable, pollution-free sources of energy, planners began to design dams that combined their energy hydropower with other objectives such as irrigation to control flooding and urban water supply and as you can imagine releasing water from the reservoir like in this image is quite a feat, just think of the engineering finesse required to complete this structure designed specifically to control water, but once the floodgates are open, so to speak, it's a perfect example of times

water got out of control.

It would be great to be able to pull that lever or press that button and watch the water flow. Your thoughts matter, so comment with the hashtag sweet topic. Broken pipe. This is much more than just a leaky pipe. A broken water main caused a spectacular water feature. in a suburb of melbourne in australia the huge gush rose 250 feet into the air flooding streets and houses it's basically a plumbing disaster according to local media the watery deluge lasted an hour with 39,000 gallons of water gushing out every minute with just one worker The water company sent to fix the situation.

A 130-pound metal cage covering the pipe exploded into the sky like a champagne cork falling on a nearby house. The water did not destroy anyone's house. The worker on the scene said that The whole ground was shaking and everything was quite intense, but I couldn't get away from the water. I'm soaked. No joke, the local water company said the pipe was 50 years old, but it was supposed to last a hundred. Turns out not, local media. They said a faulty air ball valve was thought to have caused the pipe to burst. Residents said they had not seen a sight like this before this burst pipe drenched the neighborhood.

Local television also reported that 500,000 gallons of water shot up at the height of 13 The construction of a flat in the suburb of Glen Waverly by canoe through the drive-in was less a novelty than an expression of great American passions ranging from hand, speed, efficiency, and sometimes laziness, by indulging their customers' desire not to leave their cars, restaurant tours could operate with fewer employees by letting prices fall while profits rose, but certainly Whoever invented the drive Through did not imagine this. A canoe across Brisbane, Australia experienced major flooding recently and one man decided to make the most of it by filming himself canoeing past a McDonald's and posting the video on the internet is a little creepy in an apocalyptic way.

The music doesn't help much either, but we're here to see it, looking back before the drive-in came along. A type of restaurant where customers ate. on premises without leaving their cars, the drive-in concept was first popularized by a Texas restaurant chain called Pig Stand, whose first drive-in opened in 1921 and in 1931 a franchise of the chain in Los Angeles began allowing car owners placed orders. and receiving bagged meals from a single window, they certainly never planned to accommodate canoes, but hey, obviously this was a very extreme situation. Hopefully, there would be another restaurant nearby to get a quick meal.

Meanwhile, a hot tub in Brisbane, Australia, a whirlpool churning flood waters into a submerged. Terrified locals try to survive the worst weather they've ever seen and as you can see, it's a spinning mess, the water picking up floating debris and trash, making it look like the gates of hell to viewers. An eddy is a rotating current of water. which creates a characteristic vortex, many sea myths and legends have typically featured whirlpools in situations involving great danger to shipping and there are several famous whirlpools around the world that form constantly and frequently. Swirls can also be caused by wind that can cause the surface.

Changes in current direction and constant eddies are sometimes caused by geographical features that determine the flow of water currents in a region. This does not mean that the devastating flooding in southeast Queensland has submerged at least 15,000 homes in Brisbane and cut power to 53,000 more. The Wilson River, which runs through the region, overflowed its banks. Horrific reports emerged from residents hearing people trapped by floodwaters screaming from their homes as desperate pleas for help spread online, locals and boats, emergency services and the military all helping with the large-scale evacuation effort. This was the strange scene recently on Australia's sunny coast, where extreme weather covered coastal towns in several feet of sea foam, leaving tourists, residents and emergency services stunned by the huge swaths of foam that were whipped by strong winds and then thrown to the ground.

If you collect some ocean water in a clear glass and look closely, you'll see that it's packed with tiny particles. Seawater contains dissolved salts, proteins, fats, dead algae, detergents and other contaminants and a lot of other bits. of organic and artificial matter, if you shake it vigorously, small bubbles will form on the surface of the liquid. Sea foam forms in this way, but on a much larger scale when the ocean is churned up by wind and waves, the phone may have provided bathers with a unique experience. photo opportunity, but it has also had serious consequences as local businesses have been affected by the travel chaos.

Onlookers said the foam reached eight feet high at its peak and emergency services urged residents and tourists to cancel all non-essential travel. In fact, many Australians were left stranded. Severe flooding in northeast Australia releases ice jam. This is one of those really satisfying things to watch. Check out these huge pipes discharging a huge ice jam when spring arrives. It's a sight we love to see because it means warmer summer weather is coming. Ice jams or ice dams occur when chunks of ice clump together to block the flow of a river, which can cause flooding in communities near the river, and ice jams can form almost anywhere that has cold winters. cold enough for rivers to freeze, such as northeastern areas.

In the Midwest and Alaska they are caused by melting snow and ice in the spring, warm temperatures and spring rains cause snow and ice to melt very quickly, all this extra water makes rivers and frozen streams increase and the layer of ice on top of the The river begins to break up. The rushing river carries large chunks of ice downstream, and sometimes a group of chunks of ice get stuck in a narrow passage of the river. The ice chunks form an ice jam that blocks the natural flow of the river. Ice jams can be dangerous for people living in nearby towns because the river is blocked the running water has nowhere to go and can cause flooding in the surrounding area cycling through the sea there is very little that people can do Icelanders like to talk about more than the climate mercifully warmed by the Gulf Stream.

Iceland straddles the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans with some winds hitting the coast and has covered large stretches of uninterrupted sea, so if you decide to give a bike ride, you may find yourself in a similar situation, as this person, the cyclist, is almost eliminated. by a rising wave the icelandic low is a constant low pressure system between iceland and greenland causing strong winds and turbulent storms this is not ideal for safe travel high waves hit the coast in the westernmost part of this capital city throwing up large rocks from the breakwater on the bike trail and damaged it some of the rocks thrown onto the trail weighed up to 110 pounds, fortunately no one was hurt, but this scenario could have ended very differently in Iceland, the saying

goes

, if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes this is not an exaggeration, no matter the time of year, you can experience the entire spectrum of the barometer in a day or even a couple of hours.

You may want to wear a life jacket and helmet if you ride a bike or maybe just stay on higher ground Oroville Dam in 2017 heavy rain damaged the main and emergency spillways at this dam, causing the evacuation of more of 180,000 people. The rain eventually raised the lake level until it flowed over the emergency spillway, even after the damaged main spillway was reopened. The volume of water in Lake Oroville increased from 30,000 cubic feet to more than 130,000 cubic feet in less than a day. A few days later, the lake level reached 901 feet above mean sea level and water began to flow as designed over the concrete along the top of the emergency spillway cascading over the emergency spillway. for the first time in the dam's history as water flowed over the emergency spillway erosion threatened to undermine and collapse the concrete, which could have sent a 30-foot wall of water into the Feather River below and flooded the downstream communities. the flow of water through the spillway was stopped for an investigation that revealed a crater approximately halfway up the spillway where the concrete liner was eroded; no collapse occurred, but the water further damaged the main spillway and eroded the bare slope of the emergency spillway. flooded basement say goodbye wall this is a homeowner's worst nightmare this entire basement was washed away by flooding from hurricane ida in 2021 the basement of this family's home in new jersey had already filled with water when one of the residents walked through and climbed the stairs a few seconds after the flood burst through the exterior wall of the basement, knocking it down and filling the entire basement with water and debris.

Water is then shown flooding sending a table against the wall flying towards the center of the room stopped only by two support pillars in a matter of seconds, the basement is completely flooded with sofas, a television and other objects shown being thrown by the water that is now much deeper Ida was a deadly and destructive Category 4 Atlantic hurricane that became the second most damaging and intense hurricane to make landfall in the US state of Louisiana behind Hurricane Katrina in 2005 The remains of the storm also caused widespread destruction from tornadoes and catastrophic flooding throughout northeasternthe United States.

Fortunately, the sun scene and the terrifying images captured by a security camera inside the basement were able to make it to safety without injury. a close decision a natural waterfall Chinese officials consider this project a monumental social and economic success with large state-of-the-art turbines and a step toward limiting greenhouse gas emissions, but it hasn't worked out that way as you see it southern China. Some of its worst flooding in 80 years, videos have emerged showing extreme amounts of water inundating 10 provinces and cities threatened by the Three Gorges Dam when construction began in 1994. It was designed not only to generate electricity to drive economic growth but also to tame the longest dam in China. river and protect millions of people from fatal flooding, but as China's Yangtze River basin enters its flooding season, the upper reaches of the dam are experiencing the highest flood levels since 1940.

Has China issued your highest warning for flooding and rain in the past? Flooded archaeological and cultural sites displaced some 1.3 million people and caused significant ecological changes, including an increased risk of landslides, rainfall is expected to peak and although the government promised the dam could protect to the communities around its immediate downstream against a once-in-a-century storm. flood this would make anyone nervous hotel escape this is a hotel stay that will go down in history the video posted read attention we have a little league on the first floor no need to be alarmed yes sure maybe the people filming this can get a refund, looks like everyone in this hotel is going to need one, thank goodness this happened on the first floor.

Hotels can be fantastic places that inspire you and help you forget about all your problems, that's

what

happens

when hoteliers and staff work in sync to provide the best possible service to their guests. However, this is not a guarantee and as you can see,Accidents happen, there are many horrible hotels that make the Stephen King Hotel and The Shining look like a picnic in the park, in comparison some hotels are so bad they will make you scream, run away and thank the heavens you're safe in your own bed, this could be one of them, so management will want to hire a licensed plumber as soon as possible before calling.

Here are some steps you should take as soon as possible if you suspect flooding has occurred on the first floor of the basement. Do not venture into the water stay still and call a fire company or a licensed electrician stay out of the water even if it means flooding continues it is too risky room with a view the east coast of the US was recently hit by extreme weather when severe storms caused flooding and travel disruptions to the new york city area, while tropical storm elsa dumped heavy rain and even caused tornadoes in north carolina and georgia and as you can see, there is water up to people's windows in some areas, videos posted on social media showed people walking through a flooded station in northern Manhattan, while at a downtown station water was falling from the ceiling and at a station in the Bronx water cascaded down the stairs.

The storm's maximum sustained winds peaked near 50 miles per hour as it passed through New York City and across the eastern tip of Long Island. The National Hurricane Center said there were even reports of golf ball-sized hail falling in New Jersey during thunderstorms. It is a great sight that this storm has given these poor people. Up to six inches of rain fell, enough to cause flash flooding and make matters worse. Dispersed energy. Outages were being reported along Elsa's path with around 24,000 homes and businesses without power, Elsa appeared to avoid significant damage to Florida, although it still threatened flooding and caused several tornado warnings, waterfall staircases, roads turned into rivers and waterfall stairs when 2017 Typhoon Murbak brought torrential rains to Hong Kong's central district Recently, heavy rain and strong winds continued to hit the city after the typhoon made landfall east of the southern Chinese city.

Murbat was the first tropical cyclone to hit Hong Kong that year and the No. 8 gale or storm signal issued by According to authorities, it formed as a tropical depression over the central part of the South China Sea, about 400 miles south. Dongsha, moving northwest, intensified into a tropical storm that afternoon, continued to approach coastal areas, and intensified into a severe tropical storm that evening. It reached its maximum intensity with an estimated sustained wind of 60 miles per hour near its center and then crossed the eastern waters of Hong Kong, marking the first time that the center of a tropical cyclone entered the territory since Typhoon Nuri. in 2008, at least 120,000 people. were affected by a direct economic loss and the electricity supply to over 45,000 homes was disrupted, as you can see, it was not the time to take action, but it was certainly a storm to remember the title of a tidal wave, also known as like waves is a massive and often single wave caused by the constriction of an incoming spring tide as it is funneled into a narrow, shallow river in a spectacular surge on the Queen Tang River in China that recently attracted a large number of tourists due to that look. about the size of that thing, the wild boar traveled 30 miles from the East China Sea to one of the best viewing points.

River bank tides are relatively rare and generally only occur in areas where there are large differences in water level between low and high tide. As the set of waves funnels into a narrow river or lake bay, they accumulate energy and accelerate against the natural direction of the current. This river is known for the largest tide in the world, which is locally called the silver dragon, but a tidal war will only occur when the tide is rising and never when it is falling as a result there are only about 60 tides on the planet at noon on The wild boar finally arrived near the coast where it evolved into a line that crashed against the shore.

The centrifugal force produced by the rotation of the earth and the trumpet shape of this bay and China facilitated the entry of the Thais, but they It is difficult to reduce. Roads were divided in two, houses and shops were flooded destroying possessions and agricultural products. Businesses were forced to close because they couldn't. continue operating crops were destroyed, raising fears of food shortages across the region in the near future and, as you can see, roads are split in two in Africa. Heavy rains are a part of life in Malawi and these southern African countries, although they are not as predictable.

As flash floods are also common in the river valleys of this region, water was everywhere and many people had nowhere to go, but while rescue efforts were concentrated in remote areas of towns and cities, hundreds of families had to take refuge in the classrooms. After their houses were destroyed by raging waters, huge boulders washed down from the hills were scattered everywhere. Evidence of its destruction can be seen in the many demolished semi-permanent brick houses. Continued rain and damaged infrastructure also affected key roads and bridges. swept away further complicating rescue operations and authorities said more than a hundred thousand people had been displaced from their homes, the government even declared a third of the country a disaster zone, so there you have it the latest installment of the strange world, wild and wonderful. of water, so soak it up, like and subscribe.
