      How do they manage downstream water levels? How much power do the dams produce? Jamming sticks into the mud until they hold back water is more of a "keep trying til something works" method of design, it's not really engineering. But it is cool.

    A dam that size really needs heavy equipment to remove it completely. When you said that the dam was that close to home my attack would be a single narrow deep cut. That close to home makes it easy to visit the dam often, daily if necessary, to remove the repair. The more you reemove from the front of the dam makes it easier to remove the mud from behind it. see if can find gloves for chemicals or put on a second glove.
