Geomorphic effects and impacts from July 1996 severe flooding in the Saguenay area, Quebec Photo 4
Photo 4 - Breach in the wing wall of a dam
The City of Jonquière dam along Rivière aux Sables was overtopped during the flood. A breach about 20 m wide occurred within the concrete wing of the dam, thereby lowering the reservoir by several metres. Flood waters also severely damaged the powerhouse located immediately downstream of the dam. Photograph taken on July 26, 1996 (GSC photograph 1997-42L).
