I am receiving calls asking if Barstow Dam has been breached--NO - TopicsExpress



          

I am receiving calls asking if Barstow Dam has been breached--NO this is another fabulous rumor! The dam is still holding tight and water is flowing through it. Also, many questions about canal gates in Barstow. The decision at this time is NOT to open them. Many factors have gone into this decision including the safety of Barstow and its citizens. The canals would move some water but not the amount others are speculating. Also once the main gate is open the pressure coming off the river will not allow it to be closed. Last check, water was spilling over the inlet gate that would equal what would be released in a small head of water.
