Re: Sable Hide
Surely it must be above the dam flood level?

Re: Sable Hide
Trying to remember, but I think dam wall is a little higher than hide. So I think the whole area till the sand road that passes would be under water before it overflows.

Re: Sable Hide
But how does that make sense then?
Maybe the spillway is lower?

Re: Sable Hide
Think spillway is roughly at height of windows of hide. Don't think hide will be completely submerged.

Re: Sable Hide
Ok, I spoke to the man who built the dam. The spillway is roughly 2m below the level of the dam wall, so the water shouldn't go over the wall. If there is unprecedented inflow, however, it will, and too bad so sad.

Re: Sable Hide
I wanted to go and have a look, but the S51 was closed like all the other sand roads.
