dead pool

A "dead pool" of water in a reservoir is the level below which water can no longer flow out through the dam's outlets, meaning it's trapped and unusable for power generation or downstream supply, a critical concern for major US dams like Lake Mead and Lake Powell due to drought and climate change, signifying a severe water crisis.

What % of water is left in the dead pool depends on the reservoir.

Blanket Pool

You put two couches together so that they make a “pool” and you chuck blankets (coverlets; doonas; what have you) and pillows in it. Jump in! It’s like a pillow fort but with couches and blankets!
Yesterday I binge-watched Rick and Morty from my blanket pool.
