All that loose sediment paired with a steady and fast-moving stream of water has created the perfect situation for this right here to happen. All of that water

Why don't you get real. The reason that dam failed and was bypassed was in 1991 the lake became a "run of the river" dam due to silting up. The problem wasn't where the washout was. The problem was no flood control capacity due to silting up.

All reservoirs are temporary, we are seeing the lifespan of the earlier dams playing out. It may take centuries for deep highland reservoirs to silt in but they will. Future generations will have to pay for our folly.

@CharlesBrodheadIII 16 күн бұрын

@@mrmoke2820 Exactly that...temporary. Furthermore, once a dam fails all the silt will eventually flow to the next downstream dam creating the potential for cascading dam failures. Finally, the larger the dam the much less economic it is to dredge the silt out, to the point where dredging would end up costing many times more than the original dam construction.

Them soils were not meant to be part of the dam or part of the dam for that matter. The water should not have been over there in the first place. The dam should have been fixed or breeched as to what they found in their study. Had that been done this would not be news right now.
