The “The Glory Hole” at the Monticello Dam in Lake Berryessa, California, came in handy earlier this year for the first time in a decade due to the heavy rains California had. The 72-foot wide hole was put in place to handle any potential overflow, funnelling excess water down to Putah Creek on the other side of the dam. Lake Berryessa can hold about 521 billion gallons of water before needing the spillway, so as you can imagine it’s a rare sight to see in action!
