Problem, the “flood gates” cannot empty the lake - they are too high. One or both of the “drains” are damaged and not working properly. The power station doesn’t flow enough water to drain the lake in time for the next rainy season. Lib management in action.
Yeah. Others don't get that my "fix" suggestion was sarcasm, often mistaken for truth here. Anyway, I read something before about the drain diversion tunnels. One is at river level, the other is higher; so the lower one can pretty much empty the lake over a period of time. The "management" almost killed some workers in the drain diversion tunnel by exceeding max tolerances for flow when testing the drain, and the ensuing wind vortex almost sucked them away. Plus they damaged the works. So why haven't they fixed the diversion "drain" tunnels? Seems that it should be done in parallel with the main spillway repairs. (No reply necessary, I'm done with this.)
