Every cubic yard of dirt would give you that much more water behind the dam, assuming it ever rains again. I wonder how many dump trucks you could fill and drive out of there every day, and how many days until it rains.
Agreed and given the temperatures in that area, the surface area per volume needs to be minimized to reduce evaporation.

I’m actually amazed how shallow this lake is given its purpose.
