Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy-
Photographed in Cedar City, Utah...
During heavy rainstorms and snow melt you can see large rocks, trees, and loads of sediment being transported downstream toward Cedar City. Coal Creek contains many large boulders that were placed there (deposited) during a flood event. Over the past few millions of years there have been many of these floods. Not only do these floods deposit coarse material, but they also act as very powerful eroders. Cedar Canyon has been carved by Coal Creek, mostly through the frequent flooding events that occur. This artificial waterfall to the east is designed to decrease the overall slope of the creek before the water reaches Cedar City. This can act to decrease the overall energy and devastation due to flooding. This structure also acts as a dam to divert water to irrigation canals in Cedar City.
