I finally built a weir in that little stream and got the coanda screen
installed .. its still in testing. It is amazing how much water flows
through those 1 mm gaps. Water is still very low .. crazy winter.. snow
and cold but very little rain. Normally i'd be swimming up there but its
only as much water as you'd expect in the first part of fall or late
spring.

So i'm waiting for the big rains to test it .. but not too big .. ain't
asking for a flood :)

here's the pics n stuff i've been doing. Had a few beers up there today so
i'll have to proofreed tomorrow heh. Still using the old intake till I get
this set in.. need a few more fittings to get her going where I want before
I glue it all together.

upshot is the screen looks like it will do the job -- the real test is
coming with the rains -- unless Al Gore is right and my rain forrest turns
into a desert.

cheers
