My father-in-laws dam broke and we are looking for suggestions.So, after fixing the dam twice it broke again last year. His place got 10 inches of rain in less than 24 hours and it took the damn out. from the looks the spillways were taking all they could handle and the water sarted rushing over the dam a eroded it a fast rate. Im not sure of how big of area the watershed is from but it's quite large there is three creeks that meet in the middle of the "Lake". We have a few ideas as far as redoing it. We are thinking about doing a concrete "spill over" in the middle of the damn somwhere so if the water riser 5-6 inches over the drain pipe it will then go over the spill over then to the spillways. We have also had trouble getting the grass to take on the dam so I'm thinking erosion mats are going to be a must. So we are looking for suggestions and also possibly trying to get someone to come take a look at it. we plan on doing all the work ourselves again. By the way it is located in southern Alabama in Crenshaw County. Here are some pictures. Thanks ahead of time!!!
