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 |

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 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5753483&forum_id=2...id.#49123187) |
