Within thirty minutes, the initial rush of water had raised the downstream river level by 7 feet (2.1 m). The river held at that level for two hours, but by then the level at the east end of the dam failed, sending the downstream river level 2 feet (0.61 m) higher in a matter of minutes. [8] By the time the crisis had passed, Jones, Oklahoma ...
At that level the water is backed up the Black Fork about 5.2 miles (8.4 km). When the dam is holding the maximum flood water it is designed to hold there would be 6,050 acres (24.5 km 2) surface acres of water behind the dam and water would be backed up the Black Fork 19.8 miles (31.9 km). [2]
This is a list of rivers in the continental United States by average discharge (streamflow) in cubic feet per second. All rivers with average discharge more than 15,000 cubic feet per second are listed.
Members of the Local Environmental Action Demanded (LEAD) Agency, an area advocacy group, worry that raising the water level will make flooding worse at the lake's upstream rivers.
This is a list of rivers in the state of Oklahoma, listed by drainage basin, alphabetically, and by size. In mean flow of water per second, the Arkansas is Oklahoma's largest river, followed by the Red River and the Neosho River .
The average flow rate at the mouth of the Amazon is sufficient to fill more than 83 such pools each second. The estimated global total for all rivers is 1.2 × 10 6 m 3 /s (43 million cu ft/s), [ 1 ] of which the Amazon would be approximately 18%.
The Ohio River at Cairo is 281,500 cu ft/s (7,960 m 3 /s); [1] and the Mississippi River at Thebes, Illinois, which is upstream of the confluence, is 208,200 cu ft/s (5,897 m 3 /s). [66] The Ohio River flow is greater than that of the Mississippi River, so hydrologically the Ohio River is the main stream of the river system.
