At the request of an Arrowhead Lake Association board member, I created a model of the Lake Arrowhead spillway. The spillway allows some water to exit the lake to avoid flooding. I used Solidworks to create a to-scale model of the spillway that includes moveable gates, and eventually 3D printed the model. This model will be used to better explain and understand the lake's flood prevention mechanisms.
