Rapidan Dam - Oroville Dam - Edenville Dam - The Alarming Truth About America's Aging Dams
In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the critical state of America's dams. 📉 Did you know that out of approximately 90,000 dams across the country, over 4,000 are in poor or unsatisfactory condition? This isn't just a statistic-it's a wake-up call. 🚨
Join us as we explore the devastating impact of the recent sinkhole disaster at the Rapidan Dam in Blue Earth County, Minnesota. 🏞️ Built in 1910, this historic hydroelectric dam is just one example of the aging infrastructure that poses serious risks to our communities. 🌍
🔍 What You'll Learn in This Video:
The aftermath of the Rapidan Dam sinkhole and its implications.
The dire condition of thousands of dams in America.
Real-life examples of recent dam failures and near misses, including the 2017 Oroville Dam crisis in California and the 2020 Edenville Dam breach in Michigan.
The role of climate change in exacerbating these problems.
The staggering costs and challenges of maintaining and repairing these aging structures.
What experts and engineers are doing to mitigate the risks.
💡 Why This Matters:
Our nation's dams are aging and in desperate need of attention. It’s up to us-engineers, builders, and concerned citizens-to push for the resources and regulations needed to keep these structures safe. 💪

    People who are comparing Indian Bullet train project with Indonesia... Must Understand... In Indonesia Chinese workers and Chinese machines are doing the majority of work with Indonesian workers. **But in India L and T(an Indian company) is doing the construction.** **Electrical overhead wiring work will also be done by L and T** Machines are also built and operated by Indian engineers. Only Chief engineer comes once a while from Japan to see progress and modifications. **So technically India is learning how to make bullet train project** **Just like we learned how to make world class Metro infrastructure** And also JAPAN'S bullet trains are safest and best in the world. "So asking for help again n again in future from Japan is not what India is thinking." That's why it is taking time. Additional info -- Indonesia's route length is 142 km with 4 stations. **India's route length is 508 km (476 km elevated on pillars, including 21 km undersea tunnel) with 12 stations.** "Also, Undersea tunnel will be made by AFCONS which is also an Indian Company." So, it will take time. *Source-Wikipedia.
