Burning questions
Many questions fell into Kilkus's head. Was it an entry from another world? Perhaps the hole was, in reality, a door that takes the individual in another world or is it something else. In order to discover Kilkus had to investigate further and that's what he did.
Steer
He started stealing his drone in the direction of the hole. Everything happened well until the device screen started flashing due to technical problems. Strangely, such a type of technical complication had never occurred before. It was the first time that his drone had shown inefficiency in the middle of the trip. However, Kilkus did it.
Verification
After drone piloted on the coast, he checked what was wrong with that. He was then realized that his battery was low. No need to say that the drone was the only tool he had to demystify the secret of the pit. Losing, it would be the last thing he wanted. So, he checked the drone correctly.
Controversial videos
He also checked if the drone took a picture of the pit. Fortunately, the drone had! The hole was clearly visible in the images. Kilkus who saw the hole of a distance had no idea that the pit was much greater than that he did not think. However, it was still not clear what was in reality in the pit. For that, he needed to give him another shot.
What's inside?
Kilkus finally had the sequence of this huge pit, but it was still having pictures of what the hole maintained inside. He never felt so intrigued before. He wanted to know more about the hole. But it would not be so easy that he did not know how would he explore the interior of the hollow.
Learning history
He did some research before exploring the hole. Crossing the history of the pool, he learned a shocking truth. A few years ago in 1997, a swimmer named Emily Schwalek, 41 died by swimming in the same lake. It is believed that the reason behind the death of the woman is the same hole. The witnesses had seen hung on the edge of the hole before drowning.
Available options
He had two options to follow. Use his drone to explore the inside or jump in the hole to find out what is there. He knew very well that his drone was not able to survive and enter the pit himself would be the most stupid thing to do. He had to find a more fruitful idea.
Another shot
Nevertheless, Kilkus gave another test while flying his drone over the hole. Although it's a risky thing to do, he had no other way. However, this time, he decided to take precautions. He piloted the drone with a perimeter and decided to take a look inside the hole. After that, he strategies his next step.
The truth
He would soon discover the shocking truth behind the hole. The mission he had undertaken was not easy. But it was pretty determined to discover the reason behind this confusing abyss. Little knew that the revelation was going to knock him away.
Long drought decade
California has been seriously drought for ten years. Calamity had made the entire ecosystem suffered, including Berryessa Lake. Due to drought, the lake's water level had rarely reduced. It was a pathetic view while the lake that was filled on his edge made him a huge quantity.
Irrevocable damage?
The situation was so serious that it seemed impossible to restore the lake to its previous glory. Therefore, the lake lost many of its visitors. From there on the water plane lived a forgotten life. He entered the notification of people when the rain revealed an incredible secret of the lake.
Pour out
Finally, he cried cat and dogs after a decade in California. The same day was celebrated by each resident of California. However, little knew that there was another shocking truth while waiting for them. Kilkus was the first resident who noticed the hole and he was locked up to solve this mystery.
Wide and scary
According to Kilkus, the hole was 72 feet wide. He still had to discover how deep it was. The measure had blown the spirit of Kilkus. Many questions jumped into his mind. How a 72-foot hole wide is out of nowhere.
Rare view
It was not only Kilkus that happened unfortunately with this view. There were many more people who led to the lake and got their tongue after noticing the view. Some of them even tried to understand what was really. However, it was only Kilkus who thought of discouraging the mystery.
No idea
There was no breakthrough! Kilkus did not know what was going to do next. However, he continued to try. The only thing he was armed was his drone. But how long does the drone help him? Well, the answer is until the end. Yes! This time, his drone turned the table around the table and faced Kilkus the most unexpected truth.
Drone on the water
Once again, he went to the lake and started stealing his drone. He had his heart to run with a lot of hypotheses swirling in his mind. Little by little, his drone went to the hole. Once again, the drone was not going to capture what was wrong in the hole. It was then he made his drone turning to the wall of the dam. Kilkus would never have imagined in his wildest dream what he saw there.
What is that?
A current traversed through his body when he looked into the hole. Either lake water fell inside or the water accelerated. Whatever the case, the hole was the intriguing hell. And finally, Kilkus had successfully resolved the mystery.
Spillway
It turned out that the hole was nothing but an artificial spillway. Although few people were aware of this and that's why a major population of the city is confused when it appeared. In addition, the spillway of this type is not a common phenomenon. He realized that much of it was related to the history of the lake.
A man makes the lake
As mentioned earlier, Lake Berryessa is a craft lake. And this mysterious spillway was formed at the same time as the lake was created. Being the seventh artificial lake in California, it houses massive water. That's why this weir was done. Find out how a hole helped this giant lake controlling water inside.
Prevents the overflow of water
The spillway prevents the overflow of water in the lake. In addition, it has also not allowed water pressure in the area and around the dam. So, they say that the spillway has been made years ago, but how is it possible that no one has read this before. Well, the answer is here!
Raison
The reason the spill continued to escape the eyes of people is because of a drought that had covered California for more than ten years. You see, the level of water of the lake was quite low during these years and that the spill was allowed closed. Usually, spills are created on the sections of the dam wall or above them. This one was designed differently, which gives it a new look.
Why different?
The Solano Irrigation District Water and Energy Manager, said Kevin King, "the Office has a protocol and inspections, and with all inspections, everything has been verified so far " This construction and structure (monticello) are very different than Oroville. We are very narrow canyon here integrated with Bedrock. The traditional construction of the spill would not be adapted here. It would have been very expensive to exercise in the side of the mountains here, that's how they proposed the design, "he added.
Mouth
The design of the spillway is called Bell-Mouth. The other popular name that this hole passes is "Glory Hole". It's a kind of funnel on the dam. The hole is 28 feet down and extends up to 75 feet in diameter. We will now learn why the image of a hot tub passes when the water reaches a certain level in the lake.
The story behind
Whenever the water rises on more than 440 feet above sea level, it also exceeds the funnel. This moment when the water begins to flow from the funnel because it occurs in a bathtub, giving an illusion of a hot tub. In particular, the dam was not widely used for 60 years.
Discovery
As Kilkus finally discovered what is exactly, it's really happy. He says "it will be a great summer here again." No doubt the lake will enjoy even more steps in summer.
Why important
The dam made in the 1940s is a lifebuy for residents of the city. It has entered the use of drinking and irrigation. It serves 600,000 people in the city. The dam has the ability to keep 526 billion gallons of water in the surplus.
High height
King who oversees the road operations explained: "While the water in the sink rises, he drains through this hole," he continued "but when it's less full, the water is stagnant . "
Gain popularity
The spillway became popular afterwards. King says "I went there the other day and there were about 15 flying drones and people take videos," he adds "it's really dramatic to watch."
Increment in followers
Kilkus has a large number of followers up to 32,000 people. However, his video could attract the attention of only a few thousand people. But the video of this dump won millions of views. This is one of its videos that have been consulted on 12 million times.
