    I read a while back (couple of years) that about 95% of ALL dams in America were in dire need of major repairs or 'refurbishment' and classified as being critical for possible failures. The ones built in 30's and 40's being the worst because they were built by the government but the local state was then expected to maintain them - and haven't. Looks like things are beginning to come true. Sad for the people and their jobs when affected.

    There is a difference between a catastrophic failure and a collapse. A failure is part of the dam not doing it's job. in 1995, one of the flood gates on the Folsom Dam in Sacramento, Ca stuck open and release more water than expected down stream, that was considered a failure, but not a breech.

    The town of Waterville, NC is right on I-40 at the NC/TN border. There is a power plant there on the river. If you follow I-40 east into North Carolina for 10 miles, you will find the NC welcome center and rest areas on both sides of I-40. The Walters Dam is about 1,500 feet southwest of the rest areas. It is a classic TVA dam, built in an arc across the river. That is the dam that has been releasing all the water that washed out part of I-40, in the same place it always washes out.

    • @WesB1972
      @WesB1972 3 місяці тому

      The Walters Dam is not a TVA dam. It is now owned by the Duke Power Company. It was built in 1927 by the Carolina Power and Light Co. The first TVA Dam ( Norris Dam on the Clinch River ) was built in 1936.
