| Tom Stock posted Flood control gates at Little Falls NY. Tom Stock shared David Harris: Shouldn't both be down, or up? Tom Stock: David Harris there is a protocol they use seasonally and under certain conditions as to how they stage all the control structures canal wide. Not exactly sure what that protocol is. Gregory Brown: David Harris there is a hydropower generator between guard gate and lock 17 which is a lift gate. Tom Stock: Gregory Brown that is true. With much of the flow diverted around Hansen Island and most of the water in the canal on the surface frozen, I imagine not a lot of flow through the turbine penstock but probably still some KWH being made. |
