I watched the construction of the 3G dam as much as I could. They didn’t seem to be building in a way to flush silt. And the watershed that fills that thing is huge but yet they did little to nothing to clean the slopes that were going to be flooded. So, yeah, if silt clogs the locks and gets up to the hydro intake areas it will be in werry, werry seriwish twubble.

Yeah, they also kicked out all the EU/US technicians when the techs told them the rebar they were using wasn’t enough and the cement needed to be seated deeper into the bedrock (as the dam’s built on a river delta).
