Okay, I am new on here but cannot help but do the math. So many variables to the rising water if taney dam goes but here is the basics. Taneycomon 2080 surface acres = 2080x43560 sq ft/acre = 90604800 cu. ft x 20 ft deep =1812096000 cu. ft of water in Taney Como Bull Shoals 43,000 sufrace acres =43000x43560 sqft/acre = 1873080000 cu ft in 1 foot deep water in the lake. SO>>>>>>>> If taney bursts, you can see that the you can divide the larger Bull shoals by the smaller taney como cut ft and its 1.034 raise in Bull shoals. Of course the initial rush would be devastating to lake side shores and cabins and would make a huge wave ahead of the surge. Depends on if it failed all at once. Okay you engineers, get out your calculators and see what you get. kk
