You guy are about a million times smarter than I, but I got a question
wrong on a test years ago and it nags at me.
What would seem to be the more destructive force.
High pressure water or:
Massive water flow. IE volume
I guessed volume but it was wrong but I think the test was wrong.
It wasa long time ago and before I croak I need somee finality on this.



Not an expert on hydrology, but after a snagging operation that
led to some erosions problems on a nearby stream I heard a hydrologist
testify that when a rivers flow velocity doubles, the erosion
quadruples. Croak in peace.....hopefully not soon..
