San Gabriel Canyon Flood Control – Works as Designed, San Gabriel OHV Area

Описание: Following winter storms in late 2025 and early 2026,
this video documents San Gabriel Canyon during active flood control operations in Los Angeles County, California.

The footage captures the San Gabriel River system shortly after storm events, when flood control reservoirs and channels are temporarily holding and releasing water as intended.
This state—periods of increased flow followed by drawdown—reflects the system operating as designed during and after winter storms.

Captured by drone, the video follows the river through the San Gabriel Canyon OHV Area, its three forks, and associated reservoirs and dams.
It records water movement, temporary storage, release patterns, sediment traces, and downstream flow beyond the canyon, providing a visual record of flood control infrastructure in action.

Locations featured:
– San Gabriel Canyon OHV Area
– West Fork, East Fork, and North Fork of the San Gabriel River
– Morris Reservoir and Morris Dam
– Santa Anita Dam and Reservoir
