I could find one instance of a word beginning with "ero". An article elsewhere was highlighting the possibility of catastrophic erosion. Outflow rates should have an associated catastrophic failure probability estimate and then we can get a realistic cap on sustained outflows.
Outflow rates should have an associated catastrophic failure probability estimate
The emergency spillway was originally rated for 350,000 cfs (cubic feet per second), but when it came into use, the erosion started causing a risk of catastrophic failure at just 6,000 - 12,000 cfs (this is what prompted the evacuation order, and the re-opening of the primary spillway to its capacity).
The catastrophic failure probability estimates simply haven't stood up to real-world testing.
