Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how deadpool appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
The base of the saddle dam is at an approximate elevation of 10,080 feet, which appears to be about 25 feet above the minimum pool water level. This option would necessitate complete drainage of the reservoir (to deadpool) so that this could be engineered to accommodate a stable channel and inlet area for the micro-tunnel.
The hydraulic head is the difference between the normal maximum water surface elevation and the deadpool (e.g. the water level below which water can no longer be discharged) elevation.
