If that happens, water will begin flowing into the lake’s Glory Hole spillway like a giant bathtub drain. Crowds of tourists are expected to flock to the area to see the unusual sight. The Glory Hole spillway is located about 200 feet from the Monticello Dam. The distance from the Glory Hole to its exit point, located in Putah Creek, is about 700 feet. The Glory Hole is a morning glory-type spillway. Shaped like a funnel, it is 72 feet in diameter at its lip and narrows to about 28 feet at its exit. Water starts spilling into the Glory Hole when the lake fills up to a level of 1,602,000 acre-feet. The Glory Hole can release a maximum of 362,000 gallons of water per second. Water is expected to begin pouring into the Glory Hole this Saturday, as heavy rain is predicted in the coming days. The last time this happened was in 2006. ---------------------------------------­­---------------------------------------­-­--------------- Next Animation Studio’s News Direct service provides daily, high-quality, informative 3D news animations that fill in for missing footage and help viewers understand breaking news stories or in-depth features on science, technology, and health.
