A lot of these dams would not be built the same today and there's no one country that can pool the talent to repair one. Every major dam rehabilitation effort is an international effort in the sense that specialists will be hauled in from Brazil, Italy, the Netherlands, you name it.

Karst geography alone is a silent killer, because limestone is constantly dissolving underwater, creating caves that weren't there in the 1950s. You gotta inject concrete into the earth and create a skirt around those dams

That's a dam shame. We are going to have a lot of dam problems pretty damn soon.

They usually fail slowly over time. Sometimes patchwork repairs can buy you 10-20 years. Sometimes it's only one spillway that's the problem, so the dam just runs with that spillway open or closed until the governor's term is up
