Water Conservation; Water Erosion; Flooding and Prevention
Photograph of a farm pond dam showing water marks near crest where a 4-inch rain filled pond (04-30-36). On May 4th, another 4-inch rain added sufficient pressure so that the seepage through a gopher hole caused the collapse of the dam. The gopher hole was being treated and probably would have been healed if the additional rain had not caused the additional pressure at just that time. OK-5183.
