The irrigation canal and the floodgate. The Hvítá River in the distance and in the distance you can see a summer house, a forest and Mt Hestfjall in Grímsnes. Water from the river's channel now flows over land and then cascades from flat surfaces down into the canal, which is full of ice.

Hvítá River Overflows Its Banks

Water from the Hvítá River in Árnessýsla, near the farm of Brúnastaðir in Flói, is now overflowing the river bank and finding its way into an irrigation canal that lies there. The mouth of the canal is blocked by ice and the floodgate in it is closed. Therefore, water flows into the canal at the river's overflow. This has been happening for over an hour. The progress is rapid.
