Catawba

Chris Jackson has been regularly documenting the construction of the Great Falls flow structures for the past couple years via drone. These images represent the final design/build, to which water will be restored in the coming weeks for the next several decades. The large channel will have water all the time, 450 or 850 cfs depending on the month, and will feature several potential surf waves. The smaller 'paperclip' channel on the right side will only have water during recreational releases. Both channels are designed to release specific volumes of water into the river below and allow people to paddle from the reservoir into the river below.
