Seems like a poor design.

Inadequate. This is their "Fukushima" event, perhaps. A situation beyond the expected design.

Poor design and poor maintenance.

Everybody knows that you can’t have flowing water on an earthen dam. The emergency dam to the left of the spillway is concrete atop a earthen dam. Water is overtopping the emergency dam and eroding the earthen base.

The emergency concrete spillway was damaged and never repaired.
