Edited Text of "Bell-mouth Spillway" Example in "Real Life" Folder


* [[https://www.google.com/search?q=bell+mouth+spillway&safe=active&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS591US591&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwifib2O8JrTAhUlxYMKHVxjA4AQ_AUIBygC&biw=1296&bih=916 Bell-mouth spillways]] found in reservoirs around the world. When the water level is low, the top of the spillways look like inverted trumpet bells stick out of the water. When the water level is high, it looks like a hole has opened up in the surface of the water. One of the image sources shows a spillway located at the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monticello_Dam Monticello Dam]] in California.

Remove chained sinkhole.


Dramatically speaking, there's always the possibility that whatever machinery or magic drains the basin will break and the protagonists will be faced with a [[RisingWaterRisingTension rapidly flooding]] [[RiseToTheChallenge arena]]. Whether [[SuperDrowningSkills or not]] they can swim is a different story.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/UruAgesBeyondMyst'': Downplayed in Ahnonay, which is an island whose large central lake is fed from the ocean by a shallow waterfall. [[spoiler:This is one of the [[AGlitchInTheMatrix first clues]] that Ahnonay is ''artificial'', but it disguises a strong current in the 'ocean' that prevents visitors from swimming out to [[PullTheThread find the skybox]].]] [[spoiler:Once you find a way to escape, it turns out the real Ahnonay is a normal example - the megastructure you've been inside is suspended from rocks jutting out of a circular waterfall that extends down ''and up'' farther than you can see. Since True Ahnonay isn't attempting to pass itself off as the lost D'ni homeworld, though, it's possible it's [[WorldShapes genuinely bottomless]].]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/{{Andor}}'': The Narkina 5 prison complexes are a technological version, eight story tall structures with a hollow center built on the lakebed with a rim constructed around the pit that the lake/reservoir drains into. They're constructed this way so the falling water can be exploited for hydroelectricity.
