247M spent, of 275M allocated - no work on spillway started. Costs go up from claims of downstream farmers/ranchers devastated by repeated flooding by spillway limited to full on/full off. Is 836 feet too high a water level for adequate flood control? New design for 270Kcfs plus emergency spillway of 300Kcfs for 600Kcfs flowrate? Downstream levies max at 160Kcfs.

I know dam well money is getting siphoned off for other projects, like the high speed farm workers express.
Or the unions.

In depth and detailed analysis beginning around Feb 2017 when the Oroville Dam issues including “weeping” water that may indicate one of many serious problems, began to come to light.

Interesting topic, however might there be any text articles that I might read?

I'm not typically a fan of videos, and I just plain prefer to read.

Wow, I didn't realize they were still having problems over at Oroville. Though I guess that's not surprising, given how dysfunctional California is at all levels.

We had all better hope that the dam is not weeping through the face as bad as it looks like it is, because the consequences of that will be absolutely unimaginable.
