Dams, like much of our infrastructure, are not the sort of things that attract any attention. As long as they do their jobs, nobody notices and life goes on as normal. Even those who enjoy the benefits of these structures such as boating enthusiasts and those who use the electricity often generated at dams, rarely give them a thought. That is, until something goes wrong, and with a dam that could mean catastrophe.
Man-made structures need periodic maintenance. When that is not performed, they deteriorate. All of this is obvious, but it is often deliberately ignored for budgetary reasons. Fail to maintain a road. and you get potholes. Fail to maintain a dam, and you can end up with thousands of dead people and untold property damage. It looks like California may be headed for just such a catastrophe. More on page two.
Can it get any more bizarre than this??? Sheezz
Oh! What ever happened to calexit? Huh! Oh it just got washed away? Now you need the U. S. A. ?

This is totally insane to allow this negligence to happen! Now The Governor has a real problem on his hands and it is going to effect many more because it is the water supply for so many that depend upon it! He should be removed from office or resign!
Federal funding for infrastructures obviously went into the pockets of the political hacks.. I see a congressional hearing in MR Browns future
