Irrigaton Line - Day 4 - September 17th

Day 4:

We started late today. We found the flow again very small with no water overflowing at the Ram Pump reservoir. Clearly a bad sign. The flow was low all the way up the line.

Here you can see the pipe entering "the coffin tank" flowing not much more than half full. !

This is what is left of the second Nacamiento Pool. 

In the last 24 hours the level had dropped. You can see this evidenced by the whiter damp clay line. This drop is reflected right down to the Ram Pump reservoir.

So, into the top tunnel.
 

So, here I am, inside and here is a big root. !
 

  Here is Errol, sitting beside the big root.

We will see tomorrow whether and by how much this root extraction has increased the flow.
