FLOOD AFTERMATH: DAMAGED POND DAM! Visit with the goats...chickens and thoughts on food plots

What happens here

With the pipe cleared, observe the significantly improved water flow. The video demonstrates removing the elbow from the top of the standpipe to show the strong suction, then reattaching it. Consider solutions to prevent future clogs, such as redesigning the pipe's intake to filter debris, perhaps by adding a protective screen or a larger, less restrictive cover. This helps prevent similar erosion and overflow issues after heavy rain.

Goal: Verify the restored water flow and contemplate design modifications for the standpipe to prevent future debris accumulation and blockages.

here. I can tell it's like a giant toilet flushing. I can tell a huge difference already. And it was just three sticks stuck on the pipe. That goes to show you guys, it just doesn't take that much to clog a pipe up for a pond. It's unbelievable how small an amount of water can affect the flow of this pond pipe. The other pipe is over here. It's still underwater. I really don't want to walk out there. I don't know how deep it is. I'll probably sink up this deep. I know how deep it is right here. I can get in here safely with my waiters. I'm going to show you something cool. I'm going to pull this little elbow off right here and show you just how much water gets sucked down to this bottom of this pond. Sometime if we are expecting rain like this in the future, we may need to come out here and just pull this cover off of this pipe. I'll show you what it is. I've got to come up with a design. If you guys know of anything, send me a link of anything I can put around my pipe to protect the outside ring. But check this out. I'm going to pull the uh top off of it. it goes. Whoosh. So, this is the way we've got it designed. The water goes up into here and falls over. It's designed that way so that nothing gets stuck on the top of the pipe. But things are getting stuck here. I've got to think of a better design. If you guys can think of something or if you know of something, let me know. I think this is like an 8 in pipe. It's huge. Hear it sucking. I'm going to slip it back on. [Laughter] That's how it works. It just slides back on. No biggie. I know one of you scientific guys knows the formula. If I've got an 8 in pipe here, how much water will flow through this pipe in 1 minute? Tell me how much water will flow through this pipe in one minute. I'm very curious. Leave me some comments, guys. Now, let's see if I can get out of the water. Rad. I'd call that a successful pond adventure, guys. Buddy loves the water. That's a good dog right there. Here's another thing I want to show you
