Uninzi lonyaka, elona chibi likhulu eNapa County, California, likhangeleka ngathi lelinye ichibi.

Eli chibi lihle kwiiNtaba zeVaca- elenziwe yi-Hydroelectric Monticello Dam-, nangaliphi na ilanga lasehlotyeni elinelanga, lizele ngabantu abadadayo, abalobi, abaqhwithi bamanzi, abakhweli bezikhephe, izikhephe, kunye nabanye ababheqi. (Ungasathethi ke ngeenqanawa zolwandle, kuba kukho isiseko seenqwelomoya eselwandle.)

Kodwa kufutshane nedama, xa amanzi ephantsi, kukho inqaba yekhonkrithi engaqhelekanga ephakama ngaphezu komphezulu wechibi. Kwaye xa amanzi ephezulu, ajika abe sisiqwenga esikhulu, esimangazayo.

ILake Berryessa 'Glory Hole'

Ebizwa emva kokuba abantu baseYurophu bokuqala behlangana nale ndawo ngo-1843, uJosé Jesús kunye noSexto 'Sisto' Berrelleza, iLake Berryessa yenziwa idama ngo-1953 ukubonelela ngamanzi nombane kumantla e-Bay Area. Inxalenye yolwakhiwo lwayo ibibandakanya ukuyila indawo yokuchitheka (ivalve yokukhulula elawulwayo yamanzi agqithisileyo).

Uyilo lokuchitheka olukhethwe iBerryessa ngokwahlukeneyo lubizwa ngokuba yintsimbi yomlomo, uzuko lwakusasa, okanye -isiqhelo - umngxunya wozuko. Ngokuyinyani yipaneli yekhonkrithi enkulu encamathele ngaphandle kwedama, i-75 yeenyawo ububanzi kunye neenyawo ezingama-28 emazantsi. Xa inqanaba lomphezulu weBerryessa lenyuka ngaphezulu kweenyawo ezingama-440 ngaphezulu komphakamo wolwandle (kufutshane nokugcwala kwedama) ikwaxhasa kwakhona ifanele. Xa amanzi eqala ukukhupha ngokungathi avela ebhafini, yenza i-hypnotizing swirl.

Eli chibi ligqithe nje ukuchitheka izihlandlo ezingama-26 kule minyaka ingamashumi amathandathu idlulileyo (kubandakanya uFebruwari ka-2017), kodwa iindwendwe zinobunzima bokujonga kude xa zisenzeka.

Kuyamangalisa ngokwenene ukubukela, uKevin King, umphathi weSithili sokuSebenzela waseSolano uxelelwe INew York Times ngoFebruwari 2017, xa ukuchitheka kwagqibela ukusetyenziswa. Ndaya apho ngenye imini kwaye zazimalunga ne-15 iidrones ezazibhabha zijikeleza kwaye abantu bethatha iividiyo.

Nangona abadadayo kunye nabakhweli beenqanawa bacetyiswa ukuba bahlale kude nendawo echithiweyo, ichibi lihlala likhuselekile ukusebenzisa nokuba eli chibi lingaphezulu komda walo. (Amanzi aqukuqelela kwindawo yokuchitheka akanamandla ngakumbi okanye ayangxama.)

Idibeneyo: Impelaveki egqibeleleyo yeentsuku ezintathu eNapa Valley

Kwaye, kuninzi lwembali yeminyaka engama-60 yedama, ukuchitheka akusebenzisanga kwaphela. Ngaphandle kwembalela yamva nje kunye nomlilo wasendle okufuphi- ngokukodwa umlilo weAtlas ka-2017 - ichibi ligcwele, Iindaba zeLake Berryessa Umhleli Peter Kilkus uxelele Ukuhamba + Ukuzonwabisa. Ngokubanzi, indawo leyo inyamezele umonakalo omncinci kakhulu kwimililo.

Iya kuba lihlobo elihle apha kwakhona, wongeze watsho. Ke phuma uye kwenye yeenkampu zeLake Berryessa, iikhabhathi, okanye iihotele ezikufutshane.
