Now I am stuck in a control room with monitors at 3 plants watching them catch while I am on 12hr shifts.
Thanks for the link. I've lived a stone's throw from the river in the Meldahl pool my entire life (I'm 51 years old) & never knew there was anything like this style dam still in operation. Very interesting reading in those articles.
