Barker Dam spillway

Barker Reservoir near Nederland, Colorado fills up and that excess water is passes into its spillway as seen in photo.

Info: 'In spring and early summer, Barker Reservoir fills due to snow-melt runoff. Once the reservoir water surface reaches the Barker Dam spillway crest, any additional water flows over the spillway.

Barker Reservoir is a water supply reservoir that provides drinking water for the city of Boulder, and it is not a flood control facility.'
