Technically known as shaft spillways but affectionately known as plug holes, the drains were designed to regulate water levels in the reservoir by letting out water when the reservoir became full after prolonged wet spells.
The water is carried away down tunnels through the dam to the River Derwent downstream.
Each plug hole has a diameter of 24m (78ft) and the drop from the exit point to the floor of the tunnel below is 20m (66ft).
These shaft spillways have been nicknamed bellmouth or morning glory - after the flower - spillways.
Lightning on USB is the official name of the cable that comes with an iMac. This cable will charge both the wireless mouse and the keyboard. The plug is quite small, it measures only a width of 6.5 mm. On the other side of the cable is a USB plug that plugs into the computer.

This pipe plug is a part of the underground plumbing system of a long extinct Volcano, revealed by erosion, more pipes from the same system are visible in the back. Interestingly, the lava raising up is not mixed thoroughly and composed two distinct types, one dark, the other light. These pipes feed a large volcano, most likely a cone like stratovolcano. The red sandstone of the Comb Ridge monocline stretches across the background.

Look at me being all blonde and shit. Look at that impressive VORTECH sign behind me. Shameless plug.
I've exposed your lies, baby
The underneath's no big surprise
Now it's time for changing
And cleansing everything
To forget your love
My plug in baby
Crucifies my enemies
When I'm tired of giving
My plug in baby
In unbroken virgin realities
Is tired of living
Don't confuse
Baby you're gonna lose
Your own game
Change me
Replace the envying
To forget your love
My plug in baby
Crucifies my enemies
When I'm tired of giving
My plug in baby
In unbroken virgin realities
Is tired of living
And I've seen your loving
Mine is gone
And I've been in trouble
This weeks Macro Monday's theme is Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
As many of these conveyances are powered by internal combustion engines, I thought a Spark Plug would be appropriate.
Of course it would have to be sparking.
Best viewed large.
HMM.
P.S.
This is a real spark recorded in this 2.5 second exposure. The spark plug was connected to a neon sign transformer that produced a continuous spark that you see here.
CP 422 rips thru Palgrave with a rescue crew at the helm and a pair of magnetic ditchlights slapped on. A rare moment of delays rendering an otherwise midnight train into a morning wonder. Not long after they would find another delay after breaking a knuckle just outside of Toronto's Agincourt yard.

contribution to MM challenge for 14/10/19, theme: "wire"
strangely difficult to find a piece of electrical wire without buying a a whole reel from B&Q!
wasn't my first choice and seeing some of today's contributions it shows how narrow minded I was about this challenge, and what I could have done...
Just one note about this image - the background is part of the image and was created in camera, rather than in post prod.
The Pontsticill reservoir 'Plug hole' with water just about overflowing on a grey and misty morning a couple of days ago. Ponsticill is a large reservoir on the river Taf Fechan lying partly in the county of Powys and partly within the county borough of Merthyr Tydfil in south Wales. It lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park and Fforest Fawr Geopark. For those of you who are interested in this sort of thing the reservoir dam is a 110 ft high embankment has, since its completion in 1927, been holding back 15,400 megalitres of water for supply to industry and population of south Wales.
