20% is flooded, and a large portion is dried up as a result of drought up north.
BTW, the dam was built under the usual corruption within that political system. Several engineers quit, and they claim that it wasnt even dug down into solid bedrock before they started pouring concrete.
News today from sources say that since they built it in sections, some of the sections have substantial cracks forming.
If it does not blow out, it will be a miracle.
I checked a topo map of the area, and it looks like there are a few places where the ground itself might give way like what happened at Lake Delton.
I agree, if it doesn’t blow out, it will be a miracle.

A matter of not if, but when?
Anyone snag pics of the cracks?
My understanding is that by design, the dam wasn't coupled to bedrock in order to lessen the risk of seismic activity fracturing the dam.
