planeflyer21 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Posted February 21, 2017 Just heard a report there are are conflicting theories on how this volume of water will be affecting the various tectonic plates/faults in the region. One school says it will lubricate them and allow them to let loose. The other school thinks there will be no change.

MikedaddyH Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Posted February 21, 2017 This is only the beginning, 500" of snow is on the ground in the mountains. If the temperature goes up and it rains... The whole central valley is balls deep in water !
survivalshop Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Dam , seems like they have problems We know the Libfuk Politicians have no clue on how to run any type of Government and we know there will never be anyone held accountable for their lack of judgement and complete disregard for their responsibilities of their office . I don't think the American tax payers should foot the bill for Negligence from the people who should have repaired & updated these Dam's . This goes back further then Jerry , Arnold has part of it .

One school says it will lubricate them and allow them to let loose. The other school thinks there will be no change. Most pointy-headed fools In the media can't even begin to understand the details involved in these things. First, surface runoff will not affect the tectonic plates. The plates are too big, deep and remote. Second, we have known from the 1940s and 1950s what might, might happen around very deep disposal/injector wells and extremely large dams. It's documented and in peer reviewed papers. It happened in Rangely, Colorado, it happened in the Ramapo Mountains in N.J., it happened in various major dam construction projects around the world. If they are not sealing faults, there is sometimes fluid seepage from deep injector wells into preexisting faults and joints. The fluids lubricate these potential slippage planes and cause many micro-earthquakes by releasing built up strain along the faults. No big earthquakes, nothing catastrophic, no Kalifornia slipping into the Pacific (damn it.) Surface runoff from these spillways isn't going to do a thing other than cause extensive surface erosion. These fools should go back to their finger painting and leave any science reporting to people who actually know something.
