9 Structural failures in dams, hydroelectric plants and spillways from different parts of the world
A #dam is a barrier across flowing water that obstructs, that directs or slows down the flow, often creating a reservoir, lake or impoundments. Most dams have a section called a #spillway or weir over or through which water flows, either intermittently or continuously, and some have #hydroelectric power generation systems installed.
